Abstract
This article discusses the ways of politicization of the ethno-tribal component in Sudan. And it proves that the manipulation of these factors by political actors contributed to the emergence of conflicts and instability in the country. The author analyzes the historical context in which ethnicity and tribalism were first politicized in Sudan, and how these factors were used to justify and perpetuate various forms of violence and discrimination. Finally, the author comes to the conclusion that in order to resolve ongoing conflicts, Sudan needs to focus on solving the main problems that underlie them — inequality and marginalization.
