Sudan gained its independence from Great Britain in 1956, and except for the years between 1972 and 1982 has been embroiled in civil war ever since (Sudan, 2002).
Of course there has been great loss of life during this time; perhaps the most amazing feature of Sudan is that it is able to maintain an economy that could
