Sudan

Arab League–Sudan relations refer to the political, economic, and cultural ties between the League of Arab States and the Republic of the Sudan.[1][2]

History

Sudan joined the Arab League on 19 January 1956 two weeks after independence from the United Kingdom and Egypt.[3] South Sudan declared its independence from League member state Sudan in July 2011. A clause in the Charter of the Arab League accords the right of territories that have seceded from an Arab League member state to join the organization.[4]
