I rode across Sudan the year before last. Darfur was bad then too, but not on the route you would take between Egypt and Ethiopia. In fact I'd say it was the most friendly placee I have ever been in my life. The south is open to travel now, but I don't have any info about that- could be dangerous. The only dangerous part of the East Africa route that most people take is North Kenya and you can go with a convoy if you are concerned (I didn't and it was fine).
