Sudan/Khartoum time zone
Dears at IANA, Khartoum's time zone is +2 since 1/Nov/2017. I think it is wrong in the IANA database: Zone Africa/Khartoum 2:10:08 - LMT 1931 2:00 Sudan CA%sT 2000 Jan 15 12:00 3:00 - EAT 2017 Nov 1 2:00 - CAT BR Ubay Abdelgadir

That data entry says that Africa/Khartoum has been +02 since 2017 Nov 1, so it appears to agree with your statement that Khartoum's time zone is +2 since 1/Nov/2017. If the data entry is incorrect, what should it be changed to and why?

The following complete extract may be more informative (in a monospace font): # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Sudan 1970 only - May 1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Sudan 1970 1985 - Oct 15 0:00 0 - Rule Sudan 1971 only - Apr 30 0:00 1:00 S Rule Sudan 1972 1985 - Apr lastSun 0:00 1:00 S # Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Khartoum 2:10:08 - LMT 1931 2:00 Sudan CA%sT 2000 Jan 15 12:00 3:00 - EAT 2017 Nov 1 2:00 - CAT showing that the offset *AFTER* 2017 Nov 1 was +0200. -- Take care.
