Abstract: Abstract Kutum, 110 km north-west of the Sudanese province capital El-Fasher, is a place where research had been done in the critical pre-famine year 1984 by Umbadda and Abdul-Jalil (1984, 1985). It is located in the Sahelian zone on the banks of a seasonal river (wadi), and its inhabitants (around 12,000 in 1988) used their access to irrigated agriculture as a means to overcome the famine.
