The Sahel region stretches from Senegal in the west to Sudan in the east. It includes countries like Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and parts of Nigeria and Chad. The climate and ecosystems here deeply affect the lives of people.

About 80 million people live in the Sahel, mostly in rural areas. They face big challenges due to the environment. Many rely on farming and herding, but these are at risk from climate change. I've seen how different cultures blend with the tough environment.

In the 1970s and 1980s, severe droughts led to famines, showing how fragile farming is here. Old trade routes once thrived, leaving behind cultural traditions and languages today.

It's key to understand the Sahel's geography and cultures to get why people face these challenges. As the region changes, I'm curious about how these elements will shape its future.

The Sahel region is facing a lot of political turmoil. There has been a rise in Sahel political instability, with military coups in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. These coups have led to a complex Sahel government structure, making it hard to find stability. The new military leaders are struggling to work together, causing more tension in the area.

In 2021, Burkina Faso saw a big increase in political violence, more than doubling from the year before. The group JNIM, linked to Al Qaeda, got more involved in violence, causing a huge attack in June 2021. This attack killed about 160 people, showing how dangerous these groups are.

In Niger, the ISWAP-GS group caused over 560 civilian deaths, making up 80% of all deaths there that year. But in Mali, the number of deaths from fighting went down by more than 70%. Yet, JNIM kept causing trouble, leading to some of the worst attacks seen before.

This shows how Sahel military governance can sometimes lead to less violence but also start new conflicts. It's a complex situation.

The world is trying to figure out how to help, with countries like France and the US trying to work with new military leaders. France has sent troops to fight against extremism, and the UN is also there to help keep peace. This raises questions about how much countries should help each other, especially as Sahel political instability gets worse.

The Sahel region stretches across several African countries and is going through big changes. These changes include political instability, more violence, and a growing humanitarian crisis. Millions…

The theme "Take charge of your future" hits home, especially in a place where getting involved in politics matters a lot. It shows how important it is for youth to join in on making decisions. Through rallies, talks, and community gatherings, young folks build a strong sense of activism and unity. This is key when there's political tension.

Every year on August 12, International Youth Day lets Tanzanian youth share their dreams and worries. It's a time to empower young people and push them to take charge of their future. Events across Tanzania spark a big talk on how to improve governance and policies.

Did you know over 500 youth supporters were arrested in Tanzania before a rally? This shows the growing tensions around the opposition youth rally. The rally was set to celebrate International Yout…

Nigeria has a long history of protests due to social and political issues. These protests often start because of deep-seated problems. The movement in 2020 was a key moment, focusing on police brutality.

This event highlighted ongoing issues like poor governance and corruption. As the economy got worse, protests grew on August 1, 2024. People came together, upset about economic troubles and poor living conditions.

Young people, a big part of Nigeria's population, played a big role. They are often educated but can't find jobs. This has led to more people questioning the government's actions.

These protests have caused a lot of trouble. At least 13 protesters have died due to government violence. Over 326 people were arrested in Kano for things like arson and looting.

High inflation has also made life hard for many. For example, a 50-kilogram bag of rice now costs almost 90,000 naira. This has a big impact on everyday life for many Nigerians.

Did you know that over 2 million tweets flooded social media with the hashtag on October 9, 2020? This shows how urgent and widespread the protests in Nigeria are. They have caught the att…
