The Sudan African National Union (SANU) (Juba Arabic: اتحاد الوطنى الافريقى السودان Ettihad Al-Wataniy Al-Afriqiy Al-Sudan) is a political party formed in 1963 by Fr. Saturnino Lohure and William Deng Nhial in Uganda. In the late 1960s the party contested elections in Sudan seeking autonomy for South Sudan within a federal structure. The exile branch of the party meanwhile supported full independence. A party with this name was represented in the Southern Sudan legislature in 2008.
