No. Yemen is not a member due to its low oil production and proven reserves.
Why did southern Sudan wanted to break away from Sudan?
There have been tensions between both parts for many years. I think the main reasons were that most Northern Sudanese speak Arabic and are Muslims, while the Southerners were mainly either Christians or believe traditional African beliefs, and are poorer than those in the North. Furthermore, the cultural differences are massive, as the population of South Sudan is split into different tribes.
What are some customs of Sudan?
There are so many customs and traditions in Egypt, and even in Africa. Many Egyptians wear turbans, and cloaks, to conceal their bodies from sunlight. They travel mostly on foot, but sometimes ride camels, or other cattle. A lot of Egyptians make a living by fishing or ranching. They get about $10 dollars a day, which is an amazing income to them. They can buy so many things at the local markets with $10. Egyptian people are very smart. The first Egyptians introduced hunting and gathering to many others. We know this because paintings show the animals and the weapons that people used. Some cities in Egypt are rioting at this time. Bad government can lead to those things. The president refuses to step down, so therefore millions of people are out on the streets. This is ruining the reputation! Most roads are not paved, and Egypt is mostly a developing country. There are barely any developed cities in Egypt.
Only part of the Sahara Desert is found in Sudan (north Sudan). The Sahara Desert is vast and streaches through most north African countries.

What type of religion is practiced in Sudan?
Sudan, like other nations of north Africa, is predominantly Muslim, but it also has a Christian population, as well as animists, who retain the earlier, shamanic religion of Africa.
Officially:
Muslim 75% (mainly Sunni Muslims) - Mostly in the North
Indigenous Religions 25% (Mostly in the South)
Christian 5% (Mostly in the West and central parts of the country)
The governing law of the land is Muslim Sharia Law.
Un-officially the "split" between Musilm and Christian may be as much as 50/ 40 and 10% indigenous beliefs.
===============
About 6.31 million people or 16% of all people in Sudan are Christians. Please note that this figure differs from the one given above, but may prove to be more accurate.
The above figures are normally provided by independent sources (and NGO's) operating in the country.

How many people live in Darfur Sudan?
When the conflict in Darfur began, a serious drought had just ended that had killed about 95,000 people. Things were still at a climax, and tensions were high, and in 2003 (i think) rebel groups began attacking government outposts to voice their aggrivation since they weren't being represented in the government and getting food.
Since these people were non-Arab, the government answered their attacks and complaints by killing them. Arabs had no reason to complain because they were being represented and fed, and the government used the non-Arab's attacks as excuses to kill them, calling their complaints, lies.
It's been 3 years since the Darfur genocide has begun and already 400,000 innocent people have been killed. Usually the meathod used it simply either killing everyone in the village and leaving their bodies rotting in a ditch, or they kill the men and rape the women because if a woman is not pure she cannot marry, therefore dooming her to die from poverty and starvation.
The attacks ARE government sponsored, but so far they are doing a good job of covering it up and threatening anyone who tries to intercede. If you have any more questions about this matter you can email me at:

How was the darfur genocide carried out?
Leaders in Darfur firstly was asking for autonomy and full control of their economy (having in mind abundance of gas and petroleum). This was not approved by Sudanese Govt. Years passed and at point Darfurians organized themselves and demanded freedom for their territory. Sudan at all not liked it. Started arresting and harrousment. Darfurians revolted, took some arms in their own hand. Then Sudanese Govt (President Umr Al Bashar), created and sponsored Janjaweed Militia. In 2003, having the support with arms and money the Janjaweed (also backed by Sudanese Army) launched attacks to kill the people indiscremenantly. This is the beginning of mass killing, diplacement of ordinary people, burning, raping..and more. This is genocide!
Is Sudan a third world country?
Yes, Sierra Leone is a third world country. Jawaharlal Nehru created the system of first, second, and third world countries and organized them in this manner: First world countries included Western, developed countries. Second world countries included the allies of the Soviet Union. Third world countries were neutral. The problem with this organization was that developed countries could be classified as second or third world based on their political alliance, not on their development level, and vice versa. The more correct answer would be to call Sierra Leone a less economically developed country. This emphasizes a known standard and also serves as an euphemism.
