History

Egyptians settled in Northern Sudan, ancient Nubia, around 3000 BC. Egyptian control continued, despite Arab Islamic influences from the 15th century. Egypt took over the whole of Sudan in 1822. The Mahdist revolt of the 1880's was defeated with the help of British forces, and Sudan became an Anglo-Egyptian condominium in 1898. Independence as a parliamentary democracy was gained in 1956. A Revolutionary Council took power in 1969, following a military coup. Later that year, Colonel Nimeiry was made president. He was overthrown in a bloodless coup in 1985. 

Military dictatorships promulgating an Islamic government have mostly run the country since independence from the UK in 1956. Over the past two decades, a civil war pitting black Christians and animists in the south against the Arab-Muslims of the north has cost at least 1.5 million lives in war and famine-related deaths, as well as the displacement of millions of others.
