Searching around the internet, I have found some contradicting map sources regarding the border betweenKassala andAl Qadarif states. Some say Al Fushqa district is entirely within one state or the other and at least one says that it is split between the two. Is there anyone familiar with this matter who can provide first-hand information? --Lasunncty (talk)10:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
I have added maps for the new states in Darfur as foundhere on Commons. The maps show all disputes marked; this is done to be neutral. - Thanks,Hoshie03:43, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I made a significant structural change, & thought I should explain myself. In an early version of the page, the then-current states were grouped by their correspondence with the larger provinces of British colonial times. Over time, these were groupings were replaced with other historical associations. The most recent version associated collections of states with historical kingdoms of renown. This is a great way to look at Sudanese history. However, given that the focus of this page is on administrative divisions, I don't think it's an appropriate way to organise the information. Furthermore, it was impossible to do accurately as these historical entities were not contemporary, and had a great deal of geographical overlap, nor did they have stable boundaries. Ido think it would be entirely appropriate to add a new section explaining which states were within the realms of which historical polities at particular times. I am not currently motivated to do this.Pathawi (talk)14:57, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
