Police may arrest traders and block smuggling routes, but the profits for rogue pharmacists keep growing regardless. Fattening pills are poured into the black market, deemed to be the lesser evil. Sudan isn't the only African society where being overweight is a symbol of prosperity and power, boosting the "marriageability" of young women. But in this country, it embodies an ideal. It defines the ultimate Sudanese woman - full-bodied and light-skinned - epitomising beauty and coveted as a wife.

Question;
Being overweight is a sign of prosperity and power throughout African countries

Answer: Not Given ❗️

This is where you find a similar part to the statement:

Sudan isn't the only African society where being overweight is a symbol of prosperity and power, boosting the "marriageability" of young women.

However, this is not the same as the statement. This does say indicate that other countries also view being overwight positively (Sudan is not the only country).

But it does not give any information on how many countries actually view it this way. It could be a few others, it could be many.
We don't know for sure so it is 'not given'.
