Abstract
The purpose of this study was to look into State Formation and National Security in Africa: A Case
Study of Sudan. The study assumed that, despite the fact that Sudan has institutions built through the process of
State formation to protect the State of Sudan; its national security is continuously threatened. Sudan has only had
peace for a decade since its independence in January 1956, and it has already lost one-third of its territory.
Sudan's national institutions have failed to deal with local disputes, which have widened again, and international
institutions have either perpetuated the interests of aliens, as faced during State formation, or have exacerbated
societal, environmental, and political threats through policies based on assistance provided. The respondents
who took part recommended that constitutions be created as a result of citizen participation to specify the
functions of institutions that protect national security; there should be national identity through national
language and unity, involvement and equality in resource distribution, and equality before the law
