Sudan-+Will



The CBR in sudan is 28, the CDR is 7, the NIR is 21, the IMR is 49, the TFR is 4.7, the GNI PPP/capita is 4,290, and the life expectancy is 64.

Right now Sudan is in stage two of the demographic transition model. In 2050 Sudan will be in stage 3.

Sudan’s population has been rapidly rising since the 1970’s. They have gained about 3 million in the past three years. Also, the median age of people that like in Sudan is 19 so the population will most likely be increasing for a long time. Over the past three years the yearly percent change has been 2.41%. In 2050 Sudan’s median age is predicted to be 25.1, so they will be an extremely young country for a long time to come.

If there are so many young people in SUdan, why is the median age only predicted to increase by 6 years over the next 32 years?

 * Folk Culture**

Sudan is an extremely old country, so there is a lot folk culture. Some examples of folk culture are that 80% of the population still work in agriculture, areas are owned by tribes, children generally drop out of school to farm, and wealth is measured by how many cattle you own. Women generally cover their entire body. They use a tobe, a semi-transparent fabric, to cover themselves. Men also generally where write robes called a jallabiyah with a small cap or cover their heads. Even though all of this is part of their culture, they are starting to lean away from folk culture. Sudan used to have a military junta, a military state, but now they are moving towards a presidential system. They also have separated the country into 26 different states all with governors. Sudan is still mostly a folk culture country, but they have started to move away from that. What part of the folk culture will Sudan move away from next.

__Language__ There are over five-hundred languages spoken in Sudan. Of those five-hundred, one hundred fourteen are native. The most widely spoken language is Sudanese Arabic. This language is spoken the most in northern Sudan. Najdi and Hejazi Arabic are spoken in the northern and eastern regions, Chadwick Arabic is spoken in the western regions, Nubian is spoken in the far north, Dinka is spoken in South Sudan, and Beja is spoken in the east. Theses languages are all derived from parts of native African languages, Arabic, or a little english.

One language issue in Sudan is that Arabic is losing its popularity due to the conflict between Sudan and South Sudan. People are not wanting to speak it in the south because it has ties to unwelcomed Arab history, and people don’t want to speak it in the north because people still practice it in the south.

Do you believe all of the languages spoken in Sudan are truely seperate languages, or just diffrent dialects?

__Religion in Sudan__

The prevailing religions in Sudan is Islam. 97% of Sudanese citizens are Muslims. Most people are part of the Sunni branch. Muslim brotherhoods have been an important part of the history of Sudan. The most powerful one is Mahdiyyahh. In 1821 they led a revolt against the Turco-Egyptian regime, and they established the first independent state in Sudan. The religion first spreaded to Sudan when the Mahdiyyah created an independent state in current day Sudan. The biggest religious conflict was the Civil war vs the Christians. Almost all of the Christians in Sudan were killed or disappeared. In 1995 North Sudan was dominated by Muslims, and they believed that Christians were inferior. They captured and put them into slavery, or they killed any Christians they could find. South Sudan was first created because of this genocide.

Why do the Muslims in Sudan hate Christians so much?
