1.3.3.1 Ethnic groups
Ethnic identity is highly fluid in Sudan and depends upon the criteria by which individual groups of Sudanese distinguish themselves from other groups. The largest and most commonly recognized ethnic groups are the Arabs, Nubians, Beja, and Fur (all Northerners and Muslims), and the Dinka, Nuer, Shilluk, and Nuba, all Nilotic peoples of the South. The Arabs and Dinka represent the largest groups within their respective regions. All of these ethnic groups are further subdivided into tribal or other units. In rough percentages, Sudans population is composed of 50 percent black Africans, 40 percent Arabs, 6 percent Beja, and 34 [sic!] percent other. |
