Sudan has a large population which means more people for the government to take care of, but the low gdp doesnt allow enough money for them to do so. They have valuable exports and resources, but they cant take advantage of them in an organized fasion. Sudan's infant mortality rate is terrible. This is where they need the most help because the only way that they can move forward is with the futur generations but with this rate wont leave enough children to be the future. Sudan is in one of the biggest ethnic conflicts in the world. The northern Islamic group and the christian and indeginous groups of the south. The Northerners are using weapons aquired from China to go down there and kill and rape. This ethnic conflict must stop before cause breaks out. One other thing thing they need help with is their education system because with educated people they can learn how to take advantage of the resources. So in the end i have concluded that Sudan is in desperate need of help.
