The Sahel region of Africa has long experienced a series of historic droughts, dating back to at least the 17th century. The Sahel region is a climate zone sandwiched between the Sudanian Savanna to the south and the Sahara desert to the north, across West and Central Africa. While the frequency of drought in the region is thought to have increased from the end of the 19th century, three long droughts have had dramatic environmental and societal effects upon the Sahel nations. Famine followed severe droughts in the 1910s, the 1940s, and the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, although a partial recovery occurred from 1975-80. The most recent drought occurred in 2012.

  • جفاف الساحل هو حدث بيئي شهدته منطقة الساحل وكان سلسلة من موجات الجفاف التاريخية التي يعود تاريخها إلى القرن السابع عشر على الأقل. ومنطقة الساحل منطقة مناخية تقع بين السافانا السودانية جنوبا والصحراء الكبرى شمالا في غرب ووسط إفريقيا. ويعتقد أن تواتر الجفاف في المنطقة قد ازداد منذ نهاية القرن التاسع عشر، لكن كان لثلاث فترات جفاف طويلة آثار بيئية ومجتمعية كبيرة على دول\ الساحل. وأعقب المجاعة موجات جفاف شديدة في العشرينيات والأربعينيات والستينيات والسبعينيات والثمانينيات من القرن الماضي، لكن حدث انتعاش جزئي في الفترة من 1975 إلى 1980. وحدث الجفاف الأخير في عام 2012.

  • De Sahel is sinds lange tijd bekend met historische droogteperiodes, teruggaand tot ten minste de 17e eeuw. Het is een zone met een steppeklimaat ingeklemd tussen de Afrikaanse savannen en regenwouden in het zuiden en de Saharawoestijn in het noorden, tussen ongeveer 10° en 23°NB. In de 20e eeuw hebben drie lange droogtes grote invloed gehad op de natuurlijke omgeving en het maatschappelijk leven van de Sahellanden. Hongersnoden traden op in de jaren rond 1910, rond 1940 en 1970-1990 hoewel tussen 1975 en 1980 een gedeeltelijk herstel optrad. De meest recente droogtes vonden plaats in 2010 en 2012. (nl)
