Republican Palace in Khartoum
The Republican Palace, home of the president of Sudan, stands in the capital of Khartoum. The city was founded in 1821 as an Egyptian military post. Beginning in 1899 Khartoum was developed as the capital of the Anglo-Egyptian administration of Sudan, and in 1956 it became the capital of the newly independent country.
