Competition for Rangelands Leads to Conflict Between Farmers and Pastoralists in Sudan.
Competition for rangeland use in Eldebeibat, Sudan, leads to conflicts between nomadic pastoralists and sedentary farmers. Both groups rely on mixed livestock herds for income, with milk production as a key goal. Shortage of forage is a major issue affecting livestock health. Pastoralists face conflicts due to blocked grazing routes, while farmers experience damage to their crops from livestock. Conflicts peak during the rainy season. Traditional local administration is used for conflict resolution.
