Yes, the Sahel is undergoing desertification because of over grazing and poor agricultural practices.
Desertification - the southward spread of the Sahara - is the major threat to the Sahel.

how can population levels affect desertification
The Sahel is a grassland. Desertification turns food grazing and farmland into unusable desert. Since the Sahel is used for both farming and grazing, it would hurt the economy of the Sahel people.

The Sahel is not a desert but is undergoing desertification forcing it further south.
The Sahel was never a desert, it is a grassland. However, in recent years the Sahel has been undergoing desertification and is slowly turning to desert.
Areas undergoing desertification include parts of Africa (Sahel region), Asia (China, Middle East), Australia, and parts of North and South America. Desertification is caused by a combination of natural factors such as climate change and human activities like overgrazing and deforestation.
Deforestation, droughts, desertification and more
Countries in Africa that are particularly affected by desertification include Chad, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, and Sudan. These countries are situated in the Sahel region which is prone to desertification due to environmental and climatic factors such as drought, deforestation, and unsustainable land use practices.
