| Sudan is located in eastern Africa. The capital is Khartoum. Only one out of the six interviewees knew this. |
American media hardly covers the events in Sudan. This is part of the reason some of the interviewees had difficulties answering many of the questions about the country. Some of the information Americans knew about was the fact that the country had faced civil war and political unrest over the past century. However, none knew about the south's plans to secede from the north or about events like cattle robbing.
Responses about why Americans don't know more about Sudan usually cited the fact that Americans are for the most part uninterested in the ongoings of other parts of the world.
