The aim of this chapter is to analyse the encounters between local struggles to resist the grabbing of public spaces at a neighbourhood level and a top-down institutional procedure that was partly designed to offer citizens fairer justice in the context of the radical changes brought about by the December Revolution. It examines the actions of the post-revolutionary anti-corruption committee established by the transitional government, and the claims made by city dwellers for the restitution of public spaces (meīdān) misappropriated under the former regime. By centring on public spaces as urban commons, the chapter explores how revolutionary upheaval reconfigured the relationship of city dwellers to the city and, more broadly, to power. It also shows how these demands are part of longer-standing struggles for fairer access to urban services in Khartoum—struggles that had remained fragmented and had previously failed to coalesce into a broader critique of government authority. This chapter further demonstrates how these reactivated claims reflect renewed forms of urban citizenship and everyday resistance, focusing in particular on the case of the Al-Ingaz neighbourhood as a way to trace broader dynamics across the city.
