Kurdufan

Kurdufan (Arabic: كردفان‎ Kurdufān), also spelled Kordofan, is a former province of central Sudan. In 1994 it was divided into three new federal states: North Kurdufan, South Kurdufan, and West Kurdufan. In August 2005, West Kurdufan State was abolished and its territory divided between North and South Kurdufan States, as part of the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement.
