The usurped territories of former Eritrean refugees in the north-east of Sudan ; Les territoires usurpés des ex-réfugiés érythréens dans le nord-est soudanais

Abstract

This article tries to explore the limits of the legal concepts related to the refugee world by moving from one camp to another in the north-east of Sudan. This spatial approach, in the form of descriptive 'travelling', is based on a back-to-back comparison between two exile territories. One is still recognised by the international community while the other is renamed as an existing entity. These two contradictory spaces are leading to the paradox of humanitarian aid. ; International audience ; This article tries to explore the limits of the legal concepts related to the refugee world by moving from one camp to another in the north-east of Sudan.

Cette approche spatiale, sous forme de « travelling » descriptif, s 'appuie sur une comparaison mettant dos-à-dos deux territoires d'exil. L 'un est encore reconnu par la communauté internationale alors que l'autre est renié comme entité existante. Ces deux espaces contradictoires font émerger les paradoxes de l 'aide humanitaire.
