Sahel Region

Burkina Faso

The Sahel Region connects to 1234 places across 12 topics through 57 Bunkabop connections, spanning governance, ecology, armed conflict, and African history. Its strongest ties are with Mali, France, and Sudan. The region appears in connections ranging from the 14th-century migration of the Dagaaba people into its semi-arid terrain to the EU's multi-billion-euro trust fund aimed at slowing migration from the Sahel to Europe. Desertification and food insecurity run through its nature connections.
