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.
