Christianity in Sudan is a minority religion. Sudan is a country in North Africa that has traditionally been almost completely Islamic, with strict laws against conversion to Christianity.
Recently, these laws were abolished, "In one of a wide-ranging series of legislative reforms, apostates from Islam no longer face the death penalty in Sudan. “We [will] drop all the laws violating the human rights in Sudan,” Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari said Sunday during an interview on state television." [1]
As of 2011, 97% of the population adhered to Islam[2] "While the population of Sudan predominately descends from both indigenous African groups and Arabs, today most tribes in the country speak Arabic and the Arab culture predominates. Over 97% of the population of Sudan are Sunni Muslims with a very small Christian minority."
