Sudan · 1980 · 10p

This stamp commemorates the International Year of Disabled Persons, as declared by the United Nations for 1981, though many countries issued stamps in late 1980. The design features the official UN symbol for the year, which depicts two people holding hands in a circle, representing hope and support.

Issued during the presidency of Gaafar Nimeiry, this stamp reflects Sudan's participation in global humanitarian initiatives promoted by the United Nations during a period of relative internal stability.
