The formation of the Sudanese diaspora can be traced back to the 1970s, when hundreds of Sudanese migrated to the Gulf States as economic migrants following a deterioration in Sudan’s economy. However, the mass migration from Sudan primarily occurred during the Ingaz regime as a result of widespread human rights violations, conflicts, and the repression of political activists and opponents. Despite the many legal, economic, and social challenges the Sudanese diaspora faced in their countries of exile, they not only remained connected to their extended families and homeland but also continued their struggle and resistance against the Inghaz regime from afar. Historically, efforts by the Sudanese diaspora to contribute to the democratisation of Sudan have been obstructed by a variety of challenges, including inexperience in political activism, a lack of financial capacity, fears of a crackdown by the Sudanese regime on their return or against their families back home, and political differences among members of the diasporas. Studies that have attempted to understand the political dynamics of the Sudanese diaspora have shown that attitudes toward Sudan’s politics are influenced by whether individuals come from marginalised or non-marginalised regions of the country, among other factors. Indeed, research shows that identity formation and diasporic identities among the Sudanese diaspora are shaped by multiple aspects, including regional and ethnic identity, generational identifications, and transnational religious identity.
