Oil development induced displacement in Sudan
The long marginalized Sudanese have not benefited significantly, if at all, from oil development. Instead, displacement linked to oil development remains a problem for some marginalized Sudanese, in particular the local people in the oil areas. Oil companies have rapidly expanded oil activities in ‘peacetime’, pressuring some people to leave their ancestral homelands with no compensation.

- Unpaid Debt A comprehensive overview of the role of the Lundin Consortium in the oil war.
