Geo Quiz

For today’s Geo Quiz — we’re looking for the name of a Sudanese state that bridges north and south Sudan. It’s a place where a shaky peace holds between the Sudanese government and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army. And it’s a place where valuable oil deposits lie under the desert-like landscape:
