Abstract
This chapter focuses on the dynamics of citizenship and belonging for people living within, or displaced from, Sudan. Focusing on a significant moment in the history of citizenship as the country transitioned into two separate states—Sudan and South Sudan—it looks at the intersection between citizenship and displacement for those living on the margins in Khartoum; and for those who were displaced from their homeland of Darfur and found themselves as refugees in South Sudan at the point of its independence. It looks at ways in which exclusion operates and is experienced on an everyday basis, and what this demonstrates about the relationship between the state and those who are deliberately marginalised from it.
