Sudan

 

Well let’s move from Egypt to Sudan, officially the Republic of the Sudan, it’s a country in Northeast Africa. It borders the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west, Libya to the northwest, Egypt to the north, the Red Sea to the east, Eritrea and Ethiopia to the southeast, and South Sudan to the south.

Sudan is both an African and Arab country, with Arabic being the most widely spoken language. Over 97% of the population are Sunni Muslims with a small Christian minority.

The Sudanese pound is the currency of the Republic of the Sudan. The pound is divided into 100 piastres. It is issued by the Central Bank of Sudan.

Khartoum or Khartum is the capital of Sudan. With a population of 6,344,348, the metropolitan area is the largest in Sudan. It is located in the centre of the country, at the point where the Blue Nile and White Nile rivers meet.

The population of Sudan is estimated to be 50,467,278 in 2024, with a population density of 21.3 people per square kilometre.

The flag of Sudan was adopted on 20 May 1970 and consists of a horizontal red-white-black tricolour with a green triangle at the hoist

The national flower of Sudan is the hibiscus. The hibiscus flower is also known as the Sudan rose or Hibiscus sabdariffa. The flower's dried petals are steeped in water to make an herbal tea called karkade, which is popular in Sudan, South Sudan, and Egypt. 

I searched for Sudan’s coat of arms what I found was their national symbol which follows the rules of heraldry (whatever that is) it could be considered a national coat of arms instead of a national emblem.

It shows a secretary bird bearing a shield from the time of Muhammad Almad, the self-proclaimed Mahdi who briefly ruled Sudan in the 19th century.

Two scrolls are placed on the arms; the upper one displays the national motto, the English translation is "Victory is ours", and the lower one displays the title of the state, which is Republic of the Sudan.

The coat of arms is also the Presidential seal.

It is not a safe country to visit due to A civil war between two major rival factions of the military government of Sudan, the Sudanese Armed Forces under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and its allies under the Janjaweed leader Hemedti, began during Ramadan on 15 April 2023.
