I spent a few weeks driving the length of Sudan back in early 2019, just before the coup that happened back then.
As I learned all around Africa, government warnings about a county tell you little about the people there - while the government of Sudan at the time was no doubt evil, the people were some of the friendliest and kindest I've met anywhere on the planet.
Not only did locals help my buy bread, they refused to let me pay for it. They invited me into their homes repeatedly, etc. etc.
The currency was in such a free fall I was getting a different rate literally every day. It's one of the countries in the world that is cut-off from global markets, and so regular credit and bank cards do not work. Still, people were smiling, laughing and getting on with life.
Here's some of my footage and experiences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pqtfwlfDAw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pqtfwlfDAw
