Short Communication: Sudan

Öz

Sudan officially is known as the Republic of the Sudan. It is the third largest country on the African continent (1,861,484 km2 or 718,723 mi2) after Algeria and Democratic Republic of the Congo and also the third-largest in the Arab world [1,2,3]. The last Population and Housing Census was carried out in 2008 and, since then, the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) extrapolates the country’s population size using specific growth rates at State level. The total population in mid‑2020 is officially forecast at 44.4 million [4]. Only 25 percent of the population live in cities or towns; the remaining 75 percent are rural [5]. Sudan is located in Northeast Africa and borders on Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan, the Cen-tral African Republic, Chad and Libya (Fig. 1). Around 580 ethnic groups live in the 18 states [1,2,3], with approximately 70 languages spoken [6], but Sudanese Arabic is the most widely spoken and shared language in the country. Arabic and English both are being the official languages [7,8]. Since 2008, the government in Sudan had adopted the two-day week end, namely Friday and Saturday.
