“…In Sudan, EU‐funded reintegration programs now invest in migrant returnees as “human capital” through vocational training (Ziai 2022, 2020). Regional scholarship that foregrounds social capital and informalized labor (Elyachar 2010; Hanieh 2022; Medani 2021) is instructive to keep in mind the itinerant and non‐waged labor of migration. Going to market, looking for opportunity, making oneself available for hire—all of these activities constitute labors of mobility that respond to market demands of social capital and entrepreneurial self‐fashioning (De Abreu 2018; Elyachar 2010), where “making it” demands stretching oneself across time and place, with the risk of stretching one's family thin.…”

“…Working night shifts, moonlighting, digging under the earth, crossing borders illegally, carrying unregistered goods, shadowing someone who doesn't want to do the job themselves, are necessary tactics for those who, like Bashir, return to a Sudan, where half of the active labor force is “precariously employed” (UNDP 2021), if employed at all, and many work in the shadows of the state economy (Bakhit 2020; Medani 2021). Shadow labor is coded by racialized and gendered terms of movement and access both within Sudan and in a transregional economy, where some bodies pass easily while others are systematically marked out as suspicious, and/or hypersexualized, and targeted accordingly through extractive and disciplinary measures by state and non‐state actors alike.…”
