By Chidi Anselm OdinkaluThere are two countries whose wellbeing and stability reach into nearly every part of Africa. Unsurprisingly, the DRC is in the regional organisations of every region of Africa except those of the North and of West Africa. With a current landmass of 1,886,068 km2 Sudan is nearly double the size of Nigeria and the third largest country in Africa behind only Algeria and the DRC. Its neighbours include Chad, Central African Republic, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya, and South Sudan; and its regional reach extends to the Middle East and North Africa, Central Africa, Eastern Africa, and West Africa. But Sudan has known little peace since independence in 1956 as a Condominium of Egypt and the United Kingdom.
