text: The politicization of clan belonging is contemporary with hegemonic articulation of identity in favour of the pastoral component of the population over the agricultural one.

This hegemonic articulation of the identity goes back to the 1960s, as it is traceable in an article by Mohamed Ibrahim Egal4 who tends to involve the other component in a shared common identity, resulting in one of the components losing its original one.
