The Sahel Region

The Sahel Region is a semi-arid area located in Africa, stretching across several countries from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. It serves as a transitional zone between the Sahara Desert to the north and the more fertile savannas to the south. This region faces challenges such as drought, desertification, and climate change, impacting agriculture and livelihoods. It is also marked by diverse cultures and ethnic groups, as well as ongoing issues related to security, governance, and migration. Understanding the Sahel is crucial for addressing its complex environmental and social challenges.
