Sudan & South Sudan, International Travel Maps

ITMB publishes maps to encourage touristic travel, but our maps also bear witness to atrocities and natural disasters and are widely used by selected governments and humanitarian aid groups thanks to the accuracy of our artwork. Side 1 concentrates on Sudan from its disputed (and closed) border with Egypt south to a little below Khartoum, the capital. An inset map of central Khartoum is also included. Side 2 focusses on South Sudan from its borders with CAR, Congo, Uganda, and Kenya north to the still-contested border with Sudan and the southern provinces of that country. The most dominant feature of both Sudans is the Nile River (White Branch) that flows through both countries on its way to the Mediterranean. This is the first time that South Sudan has been so intensely mapped to portray a country carved recently out of adversity and coping with intense tribal rivalries. It is not practical for most of us to travel to either Sudan at the moment, but wars end, governments stabilize, and peace eventually reigns in every warring part of the world, and Sudan has an enormously important historical significance that will attract visitors in the future
