International Postage Meter Stamp Catalog/Sudanese Republic

=Sudanese Republic=


 * This short-lived nation was called French Sudan when it first emerged from the former French West Africa in 1958 but soon changed its name to the Sudanese Republic. Only a few months later, in early 1959, it merged with another former French colony, Senegal, to become the Mali Federation. See FRENCH WEST AFRICA and MALI FEDERATION for stamps used in the area before and later.
