The Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Region of Sudan (Arabic: حزب البعث العربي الاشتراكي - وطن في السودان Ḥizb al-Ba‘th al-‘Arabī al-Ishtirākī - Waṭan fī al-Sūdān), previously known as the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Country of Sudan, is a political party in Sudan. The party is the Sudanese regional branch of the Iraqi-led Ba'ath Party in Sudan. While the branch has always been small, accounting for an estimated 1,000 members in 2003, it has been able to have a bigger impact than what its meager membership numbers would suggest, mostly due to Iraqi financing of the branch.^[1]

After collaborating with the Arab nationalist Sudanese government for years, the Ba'ath Party broke off relations and became an opposition party in 1990; this would have disturbed Iraq if Sudan had not supported it during the 1991 Gulf crisis.^[2] In 1990, the party was composed largely of students who had studied in Ba'athist Iraq.^[3] The party, which was small in 1990, was influential in certain sectors, and was opposed to the National Islamic Front and was staunchly secularist.^[3] Members have historically been torn between the Ba'ath and other secular party movements, such as the Sudanese Communist Party.^[3] Despite Saddam Hussein's amicable relationship with the Revolutionary Command Council for National Salvation, the body ruling Sudan at the time, the Ba'ath branch was oppressed by the authorities.^[3] Later in 1990, 26 Ba'athi military officers were executed in Khartoum after a failed military coup.^[1] In 2002, a group led by Mohamad Ali Jadein broke away from the branch and established the independent Sudanese Ba'ath Party, which has no affiliation with either the Iraqi or the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party.^[4] The following year, after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, 80 Sudanese Ba'athists were allowed to return to Sudan under the condition that they would stay out of politics.^[1]
