Résumé

This Act consisting of 819 articles divided in 22 Chapters represents the legal framework regarding land access in Sudan by providig for transactions in land, including leases and easements, transfer and inheritance of rights, and conditions for obtaining usufruct rights. It builds on Islamic Sharia in that it recognises land as belonging to God, and man as the guardian of land. It however reaffirms the State as a land owner and gives Government administration rights over land. The recognized rights on land ownership include (i) Right of way; (ii) right to water, every person has the right to benefit from water resources and their branches and streams of public benefit; (iii) right of the landowner to run irrigation water in another's land to reach his land from its distant resource; and (iv) right of flow, to let flow natural water or discharging unfit or excess water through its passage in the land of others.
