Even if there is a civil war going on in the south of Sudan, between government forces and Christian separatists, the rest of Sudan is stable.
Sudan has no form of democracy, and the politics of the country are strongly controlled by the Muslim clerics. For public media there is little freedom of speech, but large parts of Sudanese life are beyond the control of the government, and freedom to express opinions can be exercised.
