**Paragraph --the paragraph needs to be edited. It's a series of disconnected facts. Perhaps you could concentrate on the armed conflict and mention Darfur and Lost Boys of Sudan?**
Sudan is a very war-torn country. Its economy was very strong until the second half of 2008. A series of wars and conflicts along with lack of infrastructure and reliance on subsistence farming by a majority of the people then made sure that a SP many people will remain at or below the poverty line. It is hard to get aid to Sudan because of armed conflict, lack of government support, and poor transportation. In 2007 the government introduced a new currency, the Sudanese pound. $1.00 is the equivalent of 2 Sudanese pounds. By regional standards, Sudan's telephone system is well-equipped. Education facilities are generally inadequate. Although it is often not enforced, 9-years of school are mandatory. Sudan also has a very poor public health system.
