Sudan offers a unique blend of historical and archaeological attractions, making it an appealing destination for some Rwandans. Its rich heritage and emerging tourism scene could attract a segment of the 14 million people in Rwanda.
Sudan is generally considered less safe for tourists compared to Rwanda. According to the Global Peace Index, Sudan ranks 159th out of 160 countries, while Rwanda is ranked 90th. The murder rate in Sudan is 5.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Rwanda's 3.6. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates higher levels of organized crime in Sudan, with indices showing significant concerns: mafia groups (6.5), crime networks (7.5), state crime (8.0), and human trafficking (8.0). In contrast, Rwanda scores much lower in these categories, indicating a safer environment for tourists. Overall, while travel to Sudan is possible, tourists from Rwanda should exercise caution and stay informed about the current safety situation.
