Having harboured Osama bin Laden in the 1990s, the Sudanese government was directly affected by changes in US foreign policy after the terrorist attacks of September 2001. The long-running humanitarian crisis in Darfur and the enduring North-South civil war have attracted the world's attention, but the negotiated end to the war opened up the prospect of radical political and constitutional change, while the emergence of the Sudan as a major oil producer and its partnership with China have created possibilities until recently hardly realised. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of these and other recent events are examined in this new edition of \"A History of the Sudan \"- still the only comprehensive history of Africa's largest country.
