ABSTRACT The thesis examines resilience and change in traditional systems of authority, with a specific focus on traditional systems of administration and conflict resolution. The aim is to examine social change and social continuity among the BeRa refugees in Tchad by looking at the effects of conflict and conflict induced migration on their traditional forms of leadership. The thesis focuses on leadership expressed through the ability of elders to be Ajawd (mediators) and thus to achieve Judiyya (amelioration). This work will theorize conflict and conflict resolution without removing it from its environmental, historical, cultural and political setting. The thesis will also historicize regional conflict and examine how current conflicts affect the lives of Darfuri refugees and their leadership in Eastem Tchad. This kind of analysis can best be accomplished if one takes a broader look at regional phenomena before trying to decipher the meaning of locally or culturally unique elements. Key findings of this work include the fact that Judiyya has continued in spite of four years in the refugee camps. Figures in Idara Ahdia [Native Administration] from Darfur, though unable to form reliable links with counterparts in Tchad due to ethnic rivalries and tensions, have been able to establish working links with Tchadien civil authorities, much as existed in Darfur prior to the war. B. PREFACE This thesis is the cuhnination of close to eight years of engagement with the Horn of Africa as a whole and Darfur in particular. I initially travelled to Egypt and the Sudan to hone my Arabic skills in summer of 2001. However, what began as a short trip to Egypt and the Sudan during the final year of my undergraduate degree at Durham, soon evolved into a research career long engagement with the region. My time in north Darfur laid the foundations for much of my post-graduate research. Embarking on this PhD was no small task. Many of the universities I had applied to told me bluntly, that no umjersity would send a reseanher to Darfur or Tdxtd isith the situation beir^ vhat it ms. Others had claimed my research was not 'anthwpdogkal enou^', and belonged in the halls of a stuffy smoke filled political sciences department, sonvuhere ebe. Both of these had been recuning themes I had been dealing during my Master's research in Ethiopia in 2002. Refused a research permit for the Sudan in 2002; I decided to do my Master's research in Ethiopia instead. My hope was that the research on ethnic federation would be useful to both Sudan and Ethiopia. To make sure it was useful to planners and thinkers in both sides of the border I decided to cross this border illegally and share my findings with SPLA commanders and Sudanese dissidents. Thus, I began honing some of my more clandestine research skills: forging documents, dealing with gatekeepers and crossing borders (Ulegall)^. Less than a year later, even before I had finished my master's, Darfur was engulfed in flames as the central govenmient utilized a combination of scorched earth and ethnic cleansing to deal with a regional rebellion. In 2004 I enrolled on a PhD m program at Durham University and became even more determined to return to Darfur to document the local tradition of conflict before it was totally wiped out. Looking back now I am not sure that the university really understood what I was proposing to do: enter a oorfiict zone to doamsnt a system cf corfiia resdutian and local adrrimtration by interdewr^ r^i^es. I assumed they thought I would do a library based study, if the situation in Darfur did not change for the better. The situation did not change and as a result, my supervisors and I agreed that a cross border study would probably be impossible. The plan was for me to travel to Tchad and conduct research there if the situation in Darfur did not improve. None cf us rmlistiadly expected the situation to char^. As a result, this research has dual focus on both Tchad and Darfur. During my time in Tchad I faced numerous hardships, including, but not limited to: knifings, hijackings and being shot at. Numerous colleagues were kidnapped and others seriously injured. It seemed I had arrived in Tchad at a particularly inopportune point in time. The period 2005-2006 saw Tchad convulsed by violence as nvunerous rebel groups tried to overthrow the ruling party. Like the Darfuri refugees I was a reluctant spectator. Without ethnic, tribal or clan alliance in Tchad, both I and the refugees among whom I worked, were at times ui^ets of various competing groups. Immediately prior to leaving for Tchad I co-authored a report on conflict resolution in the Sudan.

  • CHAPTER ONE Introduction 1.0 Overview: the Term Daju Or Dadjo
    CHAPTER ONE Introduction 1.0 Overview: The term Daju or Dadjo in French is the most widely used name the Daju people use it to refer to themselves linguistically "bike" means Daju in Daju language. Historically the name comes from Ahmad el-Daj as they believe. The Daju People are a group of several distinct ethnicities speaking related languages living on both sides of the Chad-Sudan border and in the Nuba Mountains. Separated by distance and speaking different dialects. Daju people have come from the mountains of Fazoghli; South of Sennar and settled in a long belt stretching from South Kurdufan westward through Darfur and into Chad. It is assumed that, Daju came originally from the North of Africa, having been expelled from that part of Africa to Darfur. The traditional locations of the Daju were at one time the predominant race in central Darfur, the earliest known founders of a monarchy there, and that they were supplanted by the Tunjur about the sixteenth century and they came from the east and were joined in Darfur by the African Beygo from the South-east and that the Beygo borrowed the language of the Daju. Another point of view, that Daju has lived for at least a century in the West. Their settlement ranged from Tagali to Wadai and tell stories that indicate they came from the East (e.g. Gebel Qedir ). They first attained power during the fifteenth century in Darfur. From the rise of the Tungur until the present day their central point was in Darsila, and most likely the Kordofan colony originated there.

  • Appendix 1 Vernacular Names
    Appendix 1 Vernacular Names The vernacular names listed below have been collected from the literature. Few have phonetic spellings. Spelling is not helped by the difficulties of transcribing unwritten languages into European syllables and Roman script. Some languages have several names for the same species. Further complications arise from the various dialects and corruptions within a language, and use of names borrowed from other languages. Where the people are bilingual the person recording the name may fail to check which language it comes from. For example, in northern Sahel where Arabic is the lingua franca, the recorded names, supposedly Arabic, include a number from local languages. Sometimes the same name may be used for several species. For example, kiri is the Susu name for both Adansonia digitata and Drypetes afzelii. There is nothing unusual about such complications. For example, Grigson (1955) cites 52 English synonyms for the common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) in the British Isles, and also mentions several examples of the same vernacular name applying to different species. Even Theophrastus in c. 300 BC complained that there were three plants called strykhnos, which were edible, soporific or hallucinogenic (Hort 1916). Languages and history are linked and it is hoped that understanding how lan- guages spread will lead to the discovery of the historical origins of some of the vernacular names for the baobab. The classification followed here is that of Gordon (2005) updated and edited by Blench (2005, personal communication). Alternative family names are shown in square brackets, dialects in parenthesis. Superscript Arabic numbers refer to references to the vernacular names; Roman numbers refer to further information in Section 4.

Larger-than-minimal coalitions have always been problematic for traditional coalition theory. The Israeli case provides therefore an opportunity to examine the various actors' motivations and behaviour, as they reflect on coalition theory at 1arge. The assumption that actors are driven by "win maximization" is central to formal models of coalition theory. This assumption led to predictions of winning coalitions which are minimal in size, membership or ideological scope. Non-minimal coalitions were regarded as suboptimal choices, explainable on an ad hoc basis, e.g.
