» Wild Parties in Sudan
Sudan’s conservative capital has become the hot place to party (behind closed doors, of course), thanks to a sudden inflow of oil wealth. And who’s buying the oil?
The economic boom fueled by the mostly Chinese-drilled oil is attracting Sudanese from overseas back to Khartoum again. All of this would have been hardly unimaginable about fifteen years ago when political oppression and the North-South civil war were at their peaks. But now, the Sudanese diaspora, slowly returning to their homeland is bringing along with it tons of money and a lifestyle foreign to Sudanese culture, hence the increasingly common wild parties.
