(Redirected from Sahel)
The Sahel runs 3862 km (2,400 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea in the east, in a belt that varies from several hundred to a thousand kilometers (620 miles) in width, covering an area of 3,053,200 square kilometers (1,178,800 square miles). It is a transition zone between the arid Sahara to the north and the wetter more tropical area to the south. The areas primarily affected are: Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia and the "Horn." This area is a wide corridor across which Islam yields to traditional African and Christian religions.
