Sudan is mostly a land of flat plains. In the northwest the basement rock is overlain by the Nubian sandstone formation. Wind erosion caused by the northeast trade winds has created a vast sand plain, the Qoz, which stretches from the White Nile to the Chad border. East of the Qoz vast clay plains stretch to the Ethiopian Highlands.

Josephine was born in the region of Darfur (North-West of Sudan) in 1869. She was kidnapped and enslaved at age 7 by Arab traders, and given the name Bakhita, which means "fortunate" by her captors. She was bought and sold five times, until 1882, when she was purchased by Calisto Legnani, an Italian consular agent who took her to Italy.

Archaeological evidence has confirmed that the area in the north of Sudan was inhabited at least 60,000 years ago. A settled culture appeared in the area around 8000 BCE, living in fortified mud-brick villages, where they subsisted on hunting and fishing, as well as grain gathering and cattle herding.
