Summary
The Niger River brings life to the countries on the southern edge of the Sahara, known as Sahel. Timbuktu lies on the western edge of Sahel. 25 million people face starvation. 1/3 of Mali's GNP consists of foreign aid. Because nomadic herders are losing their grazing land to the desert, plans are being made to divert Niger River water to this area to permit the growing of crops.
