Although
very poor, we found the Sudanese people to be very generous, hospitable and
friendly. A visit to Suakin was like stepping back to biblical times.
Overview
Since ancient times the Sudan has been an arena for
interaction between the cultural traditions of Africa and those of the
Mediterranean world. In recent centuries Islām and the Arabic language have
achieved ascendancy in many northern parts of the country, while older African
languages and cultures predominate in the south. Large parts of the country
continue to rely on an agricultural and pastoral subsistence economy, but
commercial agriculture�together with more limited mining and industrial
development�plays a central role in the northern districts and in the national
economy as a whole.1
