Gedaref
A regional hub in eastern Sudan and the capital of Gedaref State, this city sits at the centre of some of Sudan's most productive agricultural land and hosts an international crop market with a particular focus on sorghum. It also claims Sudan's first digital city district. East of Khartoum by several hours' drive, Gedaref has long served as a meeting point for diverse Sudanese and non-Sudanese communities, giving it a layered social fabric unusual for a city of its size.
