Welcome to the Sudan WikiProject, a WikiProject dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Sudan. Wikipedia's coverage of Sudan, Africa's third-largest state, is woefully lacking. Filling in the remaining gaps in basic coverage is a priority, though the periodic Featured Article is nice as well.
