ChrisW Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Why did they do away with the medals?Paul, Just came across your question, and I offer a very belated and only speculative/partial explanation.I suspect that Sudan, as well as Egypt and probably other countries, realized that producing and issuing both full-sized medals and ribbons was prohibitively expensive. Sudan probably doesn't have a domestic manufacturer of full-sized medals, and would have to order them from abroad. The Sudanese government could charge for the medals, which would make them only available to wealthier officers. And there would only be limited opportunities to wear the full-sized medals.

heusy68 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Emmanuel,If you can wait a while, I will get you one in Khartoum.Regards,WillHello Will,it would be very kind of you.I'am also looking for Order of the Revolution (the silvered one ) & Order of the Loyal Son of Sudan (the gilded one).Also the Medal of Educational Hierarchy.Of course I guess they ever came without ribbon,but in the case you can get one with its ribbon it's always a PLUS.My e-mail : svieta@skynet.beThanks.

oamotme Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Antomio, Nice list which starts with the Collars of the Republic and of Honour. I am currently on leave and will endeavour to provide a full translation upon my return to Riyadh. Kind regards, Owain P.S. The second list is the series of ranks in the Sudan military.
