Sudan

Overview

The Sudan or Sudan (السودان‎‎), officially the Republic of the Sudan, is a country in Northern Africa. It is bordered by Egypt to the north, Eritrea and Ethiopia to the east, South Sudan to the south, the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west, and Libya to the northwest. South Sudan seceded from Sudan in 2011, resulting in ongoing conflict between the two nations.

Sudan is a member of the ITU and as such follows radio frequency harmonisation principles according to ITU-R Region-1. The regulatory body governing communications policy is the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology, and the National Telecommunications Corporation (NTC) is charged with regulating the country's radio frequency spectrum activities such as planning, allocations, and licencing.
