This thesis attempts to study the nature and development of al-Hajj 'Umar's jihad movement in the Western Sudan (1830-1864). The movement is traced from its peaceful religious beginnings to its final militant conclusion. The role of al-Hajj's Sufi orientation in initiating and conducting the jihad, as well as the socio-economic circumstances under which the movement took place are given special consideration. / La presente thése a pour objet d'étudier la nature et le devoloppement du mouvement du Jihad d'al-Hajj 'Umar au Soudan occidental (1830-1864), depuis ses débuts à caractére strictement religieux et pacifique jusqu'a son aboutissement à caractére militant, en accordant une attention particuliére a l'influence de l'orientation soufie d'al-Hajj sur la naissance et la conduite du mouvement, ainsi qu'aux conditions socio-économiques qui lui ont servi de cadre.
