A citizen is anyone born within Sudan to a Sudanese father. In certain circumstances, this definition also includes individuals born outside Sudan to a Sudanese father, whether by birth or naturalization, as well as those who have been naturalized as Sudanese citizens. The constitution will specify the conditions and procedures for naturalization.
Non-citizens are prohibited from holding certain positions explicitly outlined in the constitution. They are also denied the right to vote and are excluded from the benefits of economic equality. The constitution will define their rights and obligations in detail.
The foremost duty of a citizen is to exercise their right to vote wisely, whether for electing the council of a village, city, district, state, or the central government. Beyond this, citizens are expected to contribute their talents to improving the quality of life within both the smaller and larger communities they belong to. This includes educating fellow citizens, advising them sincerely, and working for their welfare. Citizens should spread general knowledge among the population, encompassing social, political, economic, artistic, and scientific matters. They should also maintain a keen interest in the day-to-day affairs of the country, paying attention to both major and minor matters.
Such engagement enlightens citizens about the virtuous men and women in society and acquaints them with local and global issues that require solutions. Without these efforts, it would not be possible to exercise the right to vote with wisdom and sound judgment.
