Stories Set in Sudan
Sudan lies below Egypt along the Nile, where the Blue and White branches join at Khartoum. Joint Anglo-Egyptian rule until 1956 was followed by long civil wars and the 2011 secession of South Sudan, scattering refugees whose accounts dominate recent storytelling. The Good Lie follows lost boys of that war, while His House follows a South Sudanese couple in exile. Open Sudan on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
