Regions in Africa such as the Sahel, Horn of Africa, and parts of Southern Africa are among the most affected by drought due to their arid climates and limited access to water resources. Additionally, areas in the Middle East, Australia, and parts of the United States like California also experience frequent drought conditions.
This process is called desertification. It involves the degradation of land in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid areas due to various factors such as overgrazing, deforestation, and drought, leading to a decrease in vegetation cover and productivity.
The spread of desertification has been attributed to overgrazing in the Sahel due to the removal of vegetation by livestock which destabilizes the soil, making it more prone to erosion and degradation. This leads to decreased biodiversity, loss of fertile land, and increased vulnerability to drought and climate change in the region.
Droughts in Africa can occur in various regions, but some of the most severely affected areas include the Sahel region, East Africa (such as the Horn of Africa), and Southern Africa (including countries like Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique). These regions are prone to erratic rainfall patterns, desertification, and water scarcity, leading to recurring drought conditions.

climate, increased population and continuous drought
Poverty, drought, and civil wars.
drought was one main factor that caused the dust bowl.
Poor farming processes and over grazing of livestock are the main threats to the Sahel.
Over worked land and drought
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.
not much of anything. certainly not water since it has been in a drought since the 70s.

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.
the main features of a drought are lack of water.
