What I discovered that caused me to create this particular acronym was that there are certain efficiencies in rural living that get lost with urbanization. For hundreds of years communities and cultures in the Sudan had established a balance of livestock raising and livestock trading. Oil exploration, for the most part, disrupted this balance throwing many people, villages and communities off large areas of land, creating refugees who inevitably sought cities as a place to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. Not everyone made a bee-line to a city and even those who did make it to a city rarely found much opportunity. Some groups traveled to other regions and thus, not surprisingly, caused conflict with their neighbors.
