Sudan Thriving. Promise Of Growth After P.U.F. Unification

After a sharp contraction, owing to TAP and food crises related riots, Sudan’s economy is recovering rapidly in late 2049.

Reports forecast favorable economic outlook with growth expected to be in the range of 7.9 percent during FY2049/50 and agricultural production projected to increase by 47 percent.

Buoyed by medical, food, military, and infrastructural aid from the P.U.F. Sudan has been expanding its defense force, rebuilding cities, and returning to a semblance of normal life.

Sudan borders several non-P.U.F. countries, Chad and Libya to the west and northwest, Saudi Arabia to the northeast and Ethiopia and South Sudan to the south, none of which are enjoying such prosperity and are increasingly concerned that the P.U.F. may use Sudan’s borders to begin setting its sights on them. South Sudan, a separate country with close ties to Sudan applied for entry into the P.U.F. but the P.U.F. has not yet publicly responded or supplied S. Sudan with any aid.

Libya has been engaged in skirmishes with the P.U.F. for months, and Saudi Arabia and Libya have since claimed that P.U.F. planes and aerial drones have begun violating their airspace in sweeping spirals radiating out from Sudan, they fear probing for weaknesses or mapping their military assets.
