... In this paper, I will compare and contrast the differences in Sudan, Turkmenistan and Libya.
Sudan
Sudan is located in Northern Africa, bordering the Red Sea, between Egypt and Eritrea. ... The religious breakdown for Sudan is 70% Sunni Muslim, 25% indigenous beliefs, 5% Christian. ... Sudan has a transitional type of government. ...
Sudan experiences inadequate supplies of potable water, wildlife populations are threatened by excessive hunting, soil erosions and desertification. ... Sudan is buffeted by civil war, chronic political instability, adverse weather, high inflation, and counterproductive economic policies. ... In 1990 the International Monetary Fund took the unusual step of declaring Sudan non-cooperative because of its nonpayment of arrears to the Fund. After Sudan backtracked on promised reforms in 1992-93, the IMF threatened to expel Sudan from the Fund. ... In 1998, a top priority was to develop potentially lucrative oilfields in south central Sudan; the government is working with foreign partners to exploit the oil sector. ...
Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan is a Central Asian nation bordering the Caspian Sea between Iran and Kazakhstan. ... Turkmenistan gained its independence in 1991during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. ...
Turkmenistan experiences environmental issues such as contamination of soil and groundwater with agricultural chemicals, pesticides, salination, water logging of soil due to poor irrigation. The natural resources for Turkmenistan are petroleum, natural gas, coal, sulfur and salt.
Turkmenistan is largely desert country with intensive agriculture in irrigated oases and huge gas (fifth largest reserves in the world) and oil resources. ... Until the end of 1993, Turkmenistan had experienced less economic disruption than other former Soviet states because its economy received a boost from higher prices for oil and gas and a sharp increase in hard currency earnings.
