Sudan

SUDAN


Sudan is Africa’s largest country. The Muslim government of Khartoum in the North declared a jihad against the mostly Christian South. Since 1985, approximately two million have perished due to the war and genocide.

Religion: Muslim 65.00%, Christian 23.19%, Traditional ethnic 10.61%, and non-Religious/other 1.20%

Ideological Influence: Islam

Head of State: President Lt. Gen. Umar Hasan Ahmad al-Bashir

Persecution: Deliberate attempts to eliminate a viable Christian presence have been extreme and have included the bombing of Sunday school services, as well as the destruction of hospitals, schools, churches and Christian villages. Pastors and church leaders have been killed. Men, women and children have been threatened with death or torture if they refuse to convert to Islam.

Missionary Opportunity: In the midst of these atrocities, the Body of Christ in Sudan is growing. Massive population movements have broken down barriers of customs and languages to bring many to Christ from unreached peoples. Expatriate missionary activity has decreased, and few missionaries remain. Only a lowprofile spiritual ministry and aid program have been permitted in Khartoum and a few outlying areas. Many ministries are also taking in help to those displaced in the Nuba Mountains and South Sudan.
