Preliminary Study of Sand Erosion in South Khartoum Area, Sudan

The spatial impacts of Sudanese theoretical bases of development and the relevant designated policies

“…During the colonial period in Sudan, the country was a margin that produced cotton for the heartland region, which was British, and similarly produced food to meet local demand. In western Sudan, the impoverishment of self-sufficient farmers by including them in the capitalist economy through cash crops led to the instability of families to fully reproduce themselves in agriculture, as large numbers of the population, especially young males, were forced to lose income from their work in production, on the entry of wage labor economies in cities (Ibrahim, 1978).…”

“…The inclusion of the resources of the marginal regions within the heartland region of Sudan can be seen, for example, through the impoverishment of self-sufficient farmers by introducing them into the capitalist economy through cash crops. This led to the impoverishment of families in Darfur in reproducing themselves entirely in agriculture (Ibrahim, 1978), and for government authorities to control small producers in the Umm Rawaba region in Kordofan through a policy of converting an estimated portion of crop production in the traditional sector to commercialization during the period 1983-1984 (Khogali, 1991).Self-sufficiency agriculture was also exposed to threats of depletion of its resources, such as manpower and the continuous transfer of (value) costs at the expense of the pockets of the traditional sector through the export sector, which works in the interest of the market economy (OestedieKhoff et al, 1980). The inevitable result of this was the depletion of the value of the surplus from the traditional sector.…”

A Review on Reclamation and Management Practices of Wind Erosion and Salt – Affected Soils of Sudan

“…Wind In Sudan research on wind erosion studied by several authors e.g. (Mukhtar, 1995 andIbrahim et al 2003). Abdelwahab et al (2014) assessed wind erosion in river Nile state by remote sensing images, the data revealed that during the period 1987-2005, loose and shifting sand dunes increased by 1.3%, 110% and 34.4% in southeast Atbara, north Atbara and south Atbara, respectively.…”
