Worldview: Sudan Daily Life

For this installment of Worldview: Daily Life, we focus on Sudan. 

From Sudanese fishermen washing their day’s catch by the Nile River bank, to a Sudanese family gazing at the statue of King Natakamani, and men praying at the tomb of Al Mahdi, our photographers capture Sudan’s everyday life.
