dc.description.abstractMigration in Sudan is caused primarily by protracted conflict and includes various categories of migrants: IDPs, refugees, and to some extent economic migrants. This paper deals primarily with internally displaced persons (IDPs), particularly those from southern Sudan who live in Khartoum. In 2004, it was estimated that 17 percent of Sudanโ€™s population had been internally displaced. Following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in January 2005, few IDPs returned to the south. Additionally, in January 2011, southern Sudanese citizens exercised the right of self-determination. The future of those southerners who are still in Khartoum and other parts of north Sudan is uncertain. In Khartoum, the government declared that southerners will be treated as foreign nationals after the independence of south Sudan on July 9th 2011. Therefore, the issues of conflict-induced migration will survive the peace agreement and the south gaining its independence. This paper is based on existing data on IDPs and on the authorโ€™s research on the same subject. It analyzes the causes and the consequences of the conflict, in particular forced migration. The paper empirically analyzes living conditions and coping strategies in two IDP settlements in Khartoum: Al Salam and Al Fatih.
dc.description.abstractUn trรจs long conflit est la cause principale des migrations au Soudan qui incluent diffรฉrentes catรฉgories de migrants : dรฉplacรฉs internes, rรฉfugiรฉs, et migrants รฉconomiques dans une certaine mesure. Ce papier traite principalement des dรฉplacรฉs internes et notamment ceux originaires du Sud Soudan qui sont installรฉs ร  Khartoum. En 2004, il a รฉtรฉ estimรฉ que 17 % de la population soudanaise avait รฉtรฉ dรฉplacรฉe ร  lโ€™intรฉrieur du pays. Aprรจs les Accords de paix en janvier 2005, peu de dรฉplacรฉs sont retournรฉs dans le Sud et, en janvier 2011, le Sud Soudan a exercรฉ son droit ร  lโ€™autodรฉtermination. Dans ce contexte, lโ€™avenir des Soudanais originaires du sud qui sont encore ร  Khartoum et dans le nord du pays est incertain. A Khartoum, le gouvernement a dรฉclarรฉ quโ€™il considรฉrera les Soudanais du sud comme des รฉtrangers aprรจs lโ€™indรฉpendance du Sud Soudan le 9 juillet 2011. Le problรจme des migrations provoquรฉes par les conflits est donc amenรฉ ร  perdure malgrรฉ lโ€™Accord de paix et lโ€™indรฉpendance du Sud Soudan. Ce papier est basรฉ sur les donnรฉes disponibles sur les dรฉplacรฉs internes et sur les recherches menรฉes par lโ€™auteur sur ce sujet. Il analyse les causes et les consรฉquences du conflit, en particulier les migrations forcรฉes. Il propose une analyse empirique des conditions de vie et des stratรฉgies de survie dans deux camps de dรฉplacรฉs ร  Khartoum : Al-Salam et Al-Fatih.
