Matching fieldwork and second-hand data, the chapter focuses on nomadic pastoralists, who, despite their ideological and material invisibilisation, still constitute a relevant component of Sudanese society. The first part traces the policies of marginalisation of Sudanese pastoralists which, with continuity between colonisation and the post-colonial phase, relegated them to a subaltern position, deprived of any access to social and economic development as well as to political participation. The Ingaz regime also worked to convert dispossessed pastoralists into armed tribal militias serving counter-insurgency in peripheral areas. The second part focuses on the situation of pastoralists during and after the revolution. The transitional government’s acceptance of neoliberal diktats has not only overlooked the importance of economic and land reforms capable of putting an end to the expropriation of pastoral land and the undermining of their livelihoods. A widespread anti-nomad (anti-tribal) culture, sign of the gap between urban elites and rural masses, continued to convey stereotypes of pastoralists as inherently counter-revolutionary subjects. The question is whether pastoralists could be included in a radical change project, together with other categories of exploited and oppressed, to avoid their shift from neoliberal modernisation’s victims to actors shaking December’s achievements, as it happened between the coup and the war.
