This is a natural and objective right with regard to their political choices in political and organizational affiliation, and the practice of politics according to their intellectual and political convictions, but what is unnatural is the inclusion of the tribe in the field.” The political process that undoubtedly leads to the disintegration of the tribe and the disruption of its social system, which is what Dar Masalit is witnessing today.
