6.Sudan: GDP – $112.6 billion
Khartoum is Sudan’s capital city and the backbone of the nation’s success in growth and development. Compared with the rest of the countries in the region, Sudan is one of the richest countries in Africa by GDP.
Before the split up to form South Sudan back in 2011, this country was ranked number 17th in the list of the fastest growing countries in the world.
This splitting was so frustrating and crucial because 80% of the country’s oil went to South Sudan which is currently a country on its own. Although South Sudan may have the majority of oil sections, it is a landlocked country and will have to depend on Sudan ports as well as to access the oil refineries.
Sudan is a country that has potential, resources and capable expertise to grow and develop, but it’s regrettably among the most corrupt countries in Africa and the world.
