Based on a series of interviews conducted in the villages of the Jezira and at the headquarters of the huge irrigated perimeter that has long symbolised Sudan’s agricultural modernity, this chapter explores the lines of tension opened up by the 2019 revolution in this rural region. The political elites promoted during the short transition period, but also and above all the local actors, then clashed around the memorial heritage built up around this gigantic development project, reviving the visions of the future associated with it as well as historical claims that had been silenced by the regime of Omar Al-Bashir. The revolutionary coalition that made the Jezira and Wad-Medani (a student town and historic intellectual and religious hub) one of the beating hearts of the 2019 mobilisations had indeed become distended under the interim government. While opposition to the dismantling and privatisation of the Jezira scheme had served as the glue, various projects then came into confrontation. Farm workers, peasants, Jezira board administrators and engineers, families who had been wronged nearly a century ago in favor of the scheme, businessmen, and foreign investors highlighted the density of political relations outside the major urban centers. This chapter highlights the lines of inequality that drove the revolution in the countryside and are still alive today.
