This article discusses a 2017 ruling of the Supreme Court of Sudan, in which the court held that every child of a Sudanese mother has the right to Sudanese nationality. The case focused on Adel Burai Ramadan, who was deprived of his Sudanese nationality because his
(formerly Sudanese) father acquired South Sudanese nationality. The Court found that by stripping Mr. Ramadan
of his Sudanese nationality, the Ministry of Interior did not recognize his right to Sudanese nationality from the maternal line. The Court ordered the Ministry to restore Mr. Ramadan with his Sudanese nationality.
