Black Bloc (Sudan)

The Black Bloc (Arabic: الكتلة السوداء) was a political organisation in Sudan which aimed to represent the interests of Black Sudanese.^[1] The Black Bloc emerged in 1948 and was active throughout the colonial period.^[2] It was based in the Nuba Mountains.^[3] The Black Bloc faced resistance from other Sudanese political parties, who labelled it a racist organisation. The British colonial authorities, under pressure from these groups, denied the Black Bloc the ability to register itself as a political party.^[4]
