Terrorism In Sudan
Terrorism in Sudan has occurred in Sudan since the recent war. The Sudanese government, however, persists in fighting against terrorism in the country. Sudan has made progress in shutting down terrorism inside its borders. Sudan’s terrorist connection is not new and the country has been on the United States list of state sponsors of terrorism since August 1993 and was taken off in 2020. Sudan has been under Sanctions against Sudan, diplomatic sanctions by the United Nations since 1996.

Armed Islamic Group
The Armed Islamic Group (GIA, from ; ) was one of the two main Islamist insurgent groups that fought the Algerian government and army in the Algerian Civil War. It was created from smaller armed groups following the 1992 military coup and arrest and internment of thousands of officials in the Islamist Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) party after that party won the first round of parliamentary elections in December 1991. It was led by a succession of ''amirs'' (commanders) who were killed or arrested one after another.

The Islamic Salvation Army (AIS; ) was the armed wing of the Islamic Salvation Front, an Islamist political party which was founded in Algeria on 18 July 1994. It was ordered to dissolve by the Supreme Court of Algeria in 1992. Since then, many of its members have either been arrested or forced into exile. The army had about 4,000 men in western and eastern Algeria, and later 40,000 men in 1994. It pledged allegiance to imprisoned FIS leaders Abbasi Madani and Ali Benhadj. It was supported by Libya and Saudi private donors, and allegedly by Morocco and Iran. The Islamic Salvation Army wanted to distance itself from the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) which indiscriminately bombed and massacred civilians. Unlike the GIA, the AIS fought security forces instead of civilians and conducted guerrilla warfare. The AIS tried to control territories and gained some support in rural areas, and it fought a few battles against the GIA in 1995 and 1996. As the GIA rose, the FIS-loyalist gueril ...
