Sudans
North and South
Sudans is the plural of Sudan, referring to multiple entities bearing that name.
Most commonly it distinguishes the two African nations that were once one: Sudan and South Sudan, which separated in 2011.
The Sudans share a long and contested border.
Historically, "the Sudans" could refer to the broader Sahel region of Africa.
