Sudan is divided into four main geographical regions, roughly corresponding to the cardinal points. The north is desert, a mix of sand and gravel stretching out either side of the Nile that receives little or no rainfall. In the west is the Libyan Desert, part of the Sahara proper. To the east is the Nubian Desert, the most barren land in the country and entirely devoid of oases. South Sudan is made up of a huge clay plain that extends into the centre of the country, with Khartoum at its apex.

There are 19 major ethnic groups in Sudan, divided into 500 subgroups and speaking over a hundred languages. Understanding the many ethnic groups is key to understanding Sudan, and close examination gives the lie to the commonly held image of a country divided into Arab (or Muslim) and Black (non-Muslim) halves in the north and south.

The history of Sudan is dominated by the interplay between these two halves. At different times the North, with its riverine culture along the Nile, has represented the interests of Pharaonic Egypt, the indigenous civilisations of Kush and the Arab culture of Islam. The South, with its African heritage, has stood for the natural wealth of the continent and has provided many of the resources that allowed the North to prosper. For centuries this North-South tension has provided the motor for cultural exchange, trade, exploitation and war – a fact that continues to overshadow the political scene in modern Sudan.
