Sudan is, surprisingly, a middle income country with purchasing-power adjusted per capita income of $2,522 as of 2005, or more than $7 a day per household.
Note that this seems like very little, and in all truth the official estimate may be difficult to apply nationwide due to the tremendous inequality of income. Consider the large number of refugees (estimated between 400K and 2M persons) who are Sudanese but effectively have no income. In that light, since the per capita GDP represents an average, obviously there are some who earn far more on a daily basis, but there is tremendous poverty both endemic and widespread.
Statistically speaking, then, Sudan is middle income only at the means, but with vast disparity such that portions of the population (ie those exiled by violence) are low income.

Alright its a weird question but still its worth answering cuz someone is asking about Sundan.
The guy who said it is a middle income country is technically right according to the books but it has ignored South Sudan and Darfur (Darfur alone is the size of France)
It is a low income country but with potential to be a high income country because of its oil wealth.
