Beja Congress
The Beja Congress () is a political group comprising several ethnic entities, most prominently the Beja, of eastern Sudan. It was founded in 1957 by Dr. Taha Osman Bileya together with a group of Beja intellectuals, as a political platform for the politically and economically marginalized Beja people. According to the "Black Book", an analysis of Sudanese regional political representation published underground in the late 1990s by Darfur Islamist followers of Hassan al-Turabi, eastern Sudan has been conspicuous since its independence for its political and economic marginalization. This part of Sudan had fewer ministers and representatives than other parts of the country in the civil and military branches of the central government, as well as having among the lowest rates of education and access to health services in the country. At first the Beja Congress was frustrated in seeking political power: it was banned in 1960, along with all other political parties, by the military ...

Sudanese Communist Party
The Sudanese Communist Party ( abbr. SCP; ) is a communist party in Sudan. Founded in 1946, it was a major force in Sudanese politics in the early post-independence years, and was one of the two most influential communist parties in the Arab world, the other being the Iraqi Communist Party.

Anti-communists in the post-revolution government attempted to outlaw the party but were unsuccessful; the SCP contested two parliamentary elections in the 1960s.

The Rashaida Free Lions ('', al-usud al-hurra'') are an armed group of the Rashaida people that was active in the eastern regions of Sudan. The Free Lions were formed in November 1999 by Mabrouk Mubarak Salim. While the political grievances articulated by the Free Lions, like those of their allies the Beja Congress, revolve around the effects of large mechanized agricultural schemes upon traditional life, the act which mobilized the Rashaida into action was the government confiscation of 400 vehicles the government of Kuwait had given them in thanks for their political support during the 1991 Gulf War. The Rashaida had immigrated from Saudi Arabia only in the late 19th century and have extensive family ties with Kuwait. In March 2005, the Free Lions agreed to an alliance with the larger Beja Congress under the Eastern Front umbrella. Although the Eastern Front later was joined by the Justice and Equality Movement, the Free Lions never gained a wide base of support amongst the ...

Khor Telkok
Khor (also ''Hurru'', ''Kharu'') is the second, later name used by ancient Egyptians after using Retjenu in designating the wider Syrian region, where speakers of Canaanite languages lived. It was long an outpost of ancient Egypt and is explicitly mentioned in the Great Hymn to the Aten as a geographic region, along with the kingdoms of Kush and Egypt. Based on the Amarna letters, it is plausible that Khor is a Middle Egyptian reference to Canaan. This word spelled as ''Hurru'' or ''Kharru'' is also used on the Merneptah Stele. In this inscription, Taharqa, Tarqo of Kush and pharaoh of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt, claimed to conquer this territory as attested by the "list of conquered Asiatic principalities" from the Mut temple at Karnak, as well as in Sanam temple inscriptions. Taharqa disputed this region with Sennacherib of Assyria. The Egyption Story of Wenamun The Story of Wenamun (alternately known as the Report of Wenamun, The Misadventures of Wenamun, Voyage ...

Port Sudan
Port Sudan (, Beja: ) is a port city on the Red Sea in eastern Sudan, and the capital of Red Sea State. Port Sudan is Sudan's main seaport and the source of 90% of the country's international trade. The population of Port Sudan was estimated in the 2008 Census of Sudan to be 394,561 people. Port Sudan has historically been a center for commercial activity, particularly in the shipping industry.

Port Sudan also has emerged as a refuge for internally displaced persons in Sudan.

An oil pipeline was built between the port and Khartoum in 1977. Ear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
