The decade of oil exploitation (2000–2010) and even more so the search for alternative revenues following the independence of South Sudan (2011), where most of the oil wells were located, gave a new urgency to the Islamist regime’s land-related rentier strategies. The regime increased the number of contracts for mining concessions (particularly for gold) and the amounts of rural land lease (especially communal land) for agricultural projects and undeveloped urban and peri-urban land available for real estate development projects. The land speculation and land grabbing resulting from this strategy fuelled tensions and conflicts over land across the country and contributed to the rise in the volume of protests against the regime, as evidenced by the revolutionary slogan “The Land is Ours”.

摘要

The decade of oil exploitation (2000–2010) and even more so the search for alternative revenues following the independence of South Sudan (2011), where most of the oil wells were located, gave a new urgency to the Islamist regime’s land-related rentier strategies. The regime increased the number of contracts for mining concessions (particularly for gold) and the amounts of rural land lease (especially communal land) for agricultural projects and undeveloped urban and peri-urban land available for real estate development projects. The land speculation and land grabbing resulting from this strategy fuelled tensions and conflicts over land across the country and contributed to the rise in the volume of protests against the regime, as evidenced by the revolutionary slogan “The Land is Ours”.
