Economy

=Economy of Sudan=

The geography of Sudan has effected it's economy, as well as other aspects of its development. The modern borders were established in 1922, and there are not currently 3 regions. These 3 regions are the desert in the North, a region of steppes and low mountains in the central portion and swamps and rain forest in the south part of the country. The Sahara Desert has a large effect because when it is dry it makes it much larger, thus causing a situation with enormous repercussions among those who use it. The two most important topographical features to historical development are the Nile River and the Red Sea. They are both important sites of trade and cultural interchange. The Niles runs down the east portion of the country while the Red Sea serves as an eastern border for northern Sudan. Darfur is located in the western most part of the country.
