Flag of Sudan
The flag of Sudan, which was adopted in 1970, is composed of three horizontal stripes in red, white and black and a green wedge in the flagpole side. The flag from before the 1970 coup consisted of a horizontal blue-yellow-green tricolor. The current flag is very similar to the former flag of Libya, which also carried the traditional pan-Arab colors in solidarity with other Arab countries. The official color symbolism is as follows: the red stripe represents struggle and spilled blood and the white represents the Islamic population, peace and love. The black color is meant to represent Sudan as such, and the green symbolizes Sudan’s prosperity and agricultural tradition.
Sudan is a state in northeast Africa that lies on the Red Sea and borders Egypt, Libya, Chad, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. See Sudan Location on World Map. Sudan is the largest country in Africa and Khartoum is its capital.

Sudan: Khartoum
According to Abbreviation Finder, the capital of Sudan is called Khartoum. Translated it means “elephant trunk”. The two tributaries of the Nile, the White and the Blue Nile, meet here. The city is located at the intersection of the two tributaries of the Nile. Since this looks like the end of a trunk, it was given this name.
If you look at a map of Sudan, Khartoum is roughly in the middle of Sudan. The city is also the center of the country. This is where the government and administration of the country and the university are located. Today Khartoum is a modern city with several million inhabitants, as the city is composed of several parts.
