The country has experienced a growth in e-commerce businesses, such as online shopping platforms and an Uber-style taxi app Mishwar.
According to the most recent data from Internet World Stats, internet users made up 29% of the population in 2016 -- a notable rise from the 9.3% in 2009.
This number is expected to boom even further as Sudan's young e-commerce entrepreneurs drive customers out of the shops and into the online marketplace.
"The reason why e-trade at large is a new phenomenon is that we've been allowed to get in touch with the world once again," said Yousif Ahmed El Tinay, CEO of Sudan's United Capital Bank.
The country, which sits on the crossroads between Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, has gone through decades of isolation.
In 1997, the US imposed economic, trade and financial sanctions on Sudan. This made Sudan increasingly reliant on its oil revenue -- which accounted for over half of Sudan's government revenue and 95% of its exports.
