Since April 2017, the situation has deteriorated rapidly. 2017 witnessed an unprecedented drought in many parts of Africa, but it was particularly severe in the Sahel region. This has adversely affected the economic situations in the countries and has increased the vulnerability of young people, the risk of being attacked by violent extremist groups and the occurrence of life threatening illegal migration to the north. If the situation is left as it is now, the resilience of these countries will deteriorate further and vulnerability will increase even more. The Sahel region has a young population, and investing in the education of young people is the most effective and sustainable way to increase the peace and stability in the region.
