Sudan's News

Right now in Sudan there is a war. It is not a war with another country. It is a war inside of its self. It is just like the Civil War in the US. Sudan is in war with Duhar ( a part of land in Sudan). They both have been killing people, stealing land, goods, and herds of livestock from each other. In 2004 the US Secretary of State Colin Powell said that the Duhar conflict was the worst humanitarian crises of the 21st century. Know if in 2004 they said that it was bad then think after 5 years what it is like. Millions on people have died or are homeless. This will be a long term afact. Sudanese kids will have to pay for something they did not start. They will have no relatives to play with if they died, no home to go to, not much hope to be a great person. This is what is happening right now and it is real. It is not something made up to scare people. This is what is happening in Sudan.

Sudan's Food ,Religion ,and Family Life

Food:
Food in Sudan is very tasty. They have a lot of options of great food. Here is some of there foods names. Shorba, Maschi which is tomatoes stuffed with chopped beef, Shata which is hot rice, Koftah which is meat balls, Creme Carmela and Cinnamon Tea. These food are great and if you every go to Sudan and go to as restaurant there ask for some Koftas.They are the best in my opinion.

Religion:
Sudan is an Islamic Country. That means that that most of the population are Muslim. Islam was brought my the Arabs though the trade routs. You can find more Muslims in the North of Sudan then in the South. That is because Islam was introduce more in the north than the south. In the South you can find some Muslim's but mostly you will find Christian, and others who continue to practice indigenous beliefs.

Religious holidays are major holidays in Sudan. In Muslim areas a major holiday is after there fasting month or Ramadan. It is called the Eid of Sacrifice. This is where you sacrifice a animal. Usually a goat, chicken, cow, lamb. It depends on what you have available. Then you cut it up and give some of the meat to the poor, give some to your friends, and leave some for you family.
