Protestantism in Sudan
Protestants are about 2,009,374 in Sudan (5% of the population). They are forbidden to proselytize. The law makes apostasy (which includes conversion from Islam to another religion) punishable by death. The southern ethnic groups fighting the civil war largely are followers of traditional indigenous religions or Christians.
