While I am not fully aware of the situation of the government in the Sudan, from what I do know I think that they would have more on their mind than to stop a group of people from using a specific operating system.  With all of the turmoil, (recent) genocide, and food shortages, a LoCo team (even if it would be illegal) could easily fall through the cracks of what the government would care to concern itself with. I think it would be best if someone from the country itself asked this list knowing better than us outsiders the restrictions on people in that country.
