The famine camps became instruments for forced sedentarization and detribalization

Evidence

If the drought thus transformed the rural development campaign into a massive famine relief operation, its original aims were recovered by converting the famine relief camps into orientation centres. This, of course, was necessarily only a temporary expedient. Many of the nomads in the camps had lost all or most of their livestock, and their future livelihood posed an acutely challenging problem. Here again, however, advantage could be taken of adversity. The government was quick to seize the opportunity of furthering two of its long-term policies: the sedentarization of nomads and detribalization. — I.M. Lewis, I. M.
