Map of Sudan

Sudan

Sudan is the third largest country in Africa. Despite the end of the civil war in South Sudan, Sudan continues to experience internal conflicts, many of which started with issues related to the management of natural resources, and land. Most of the constitutions promulgated in Sudan since independence include land related provisions. The land tenure system is characterized by sharp dualism. Parallel to the formal legal system, communal traditional land is regulated by customary laws and institutions.

The long civil war and drought waves of the mid-eighties of the twentieth century contributed to waves of displacement of large numbers of Sudanese towards the cities. The current number of Internally Displaced People (IDP’s) in Sudan is 2,730,000.
