Edward, these are very similar to each other, any idea were the one you posted came from, and do you have any more pictures of the other weapons shown in the backround, it looks like there is a war hammer on the upper right side. I have included an Indian war hammer that looks very similar in design, all of these are possibly from the same region.

Edward, your axe does not look overtly Sudanese to me, your war hammers are interesting, very similar on construction but with very different heads, they would seem to be constricted in the same region but I have seen the one with a spike head on the right being described as Indian and the one on the left with a hammer being described as Ottoman / Persian. The last axe you posted is unusual as well, I do not think I have seen that exact type, possibly Persian, maybe some other forum member has another opinion.
