Abstract: Sudan is characterized by a complex colonial history, distinct geographical characteristics, and a diverse tribal and ethnic composition. This has resulted in many central problems related to spatial and human development or to tribal conflicts of an ethnic nature and armed conflict, such that they threaten its survival as a cohesive state, especially in light of the growing international ambitions for its rich natural resources. There are many provisions in the documents of the various political agreements for peace with the rebel groups that address Sudan’s central issues, and such situations constitute topics for scientific research with the aim of achieving economic and political stability for Sudan and thus its geographical cohesion as a state. This research worked on that line and proposed a geographical strategy composed of a vision, a mission, five strategic objectives, thirteen strategies, and forty-one projects to keep Sudan a cohesive State. The proposed strategy strengthens/weakens the positive/negative Sudan’s central issues outlined in the text. However, it is necessary for the Sudanese, the politicians, and those in charge in particular, to become familiar with Sudan’s geography, as it will enable them to lay solid foundations for how to manage their country politically, economically, and socially
Keywords: negative geography, positive geography, geographic cohesion, central issues, threats to survival, peaceful efforts, geographical strategy.
