The drought in the Sahel region has led to severe food and water shortages, significantly impacting agriculture and livestock, which are vital for the local economy and livelihoods. This has resulted in increased malnutrition and health issues among the population, particularly among children. Additionally, the drought exacerbates conflict over scarce resources, leading to displacement and social instability. Overall, the combination of these factors contributes to a humanitarian crisis in the region.
climate, increased population and continuous drought
The main cause of drought in the Sahel region is the variability of rainfall patterns, which are influenced by factors such as climate change, ocean temperatures, and atmospheric circulation patterns. Human activities, such as deforestation and overgrazing, can also contribute to desertification and exacerbate drought conditions in the region.
not much of anything. certainly not water since it has been in a drought since the 70s.
We will never know
There are a few devastating effects that a drought can have on a plant. A drought can completely dry out a plant and kill it for example.

How drought is different from the effects resulting from draining the pond
i think by buying drought
The Sahel is zone of transition in Africa between the Sahara Desert to the north and the Savanna grasslands to the south. As such it has a semi arid climate (it is half desert!). Therefore it is almost permanently in drought.

Some notable droughts include the Sahel drought in Africa in the 1970s and 1980s, the California drought from 2012-2016, and the Australian Millennium drought from 1997-2009. These droughts had significant impacts on agriculture, water resources, and local communities.
Millet is grown in the Sahel because it is a drought-tolerant crop. The Sahel runs the length of Africa as the transition zone between the Sahara and the fertile jungles of southern Africa.
