In this view, early humans bypassed West and Central Africa, especially tropical forests. Working in Senegal, Cameroon, Malawi and elsewhere, they are uncovering evidence that early humans spread across much more of Africa before venturing elsewhere. This has contributed to the idea that early modern humans primarily inhabited these regions. She has shown that Middle Stone Age culture persisted in West Africa until quite recently, less than about 11,000 years ago. Richard Klein, a paleoanthropologist at Stanford University who has spent decades studying early modern human origins and migration in Africa, says, “I don’t understand the evolutionary mechanism behind” the pan-African origins theory.

Morocco, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, has attached utmost priority to sustainable water management in the context of recurrent drought and adverse climate change impact. Building on the legacy of his father late King Hassan II, King Mohammed VI urged building more dams designed to supply urban centers and farms as well as the use of non-conventional water resources, notably desalination. Acting on the monarch’s directives, the state has allocated 14 billion dollars over 2020-2027 to securing water resources and improving water management. Following the example of an operating desalination plant in Agadir and a developing one in Dakhla, Casablanca’s plant will allocate 50 million cubic meters to irrigation. Thanks to a farsighted approach, Morocco’s second largest tourist hub, Agadir, was spared water rationing and water cuts after a desalination plant started pumping fresh water to households and adjacent farms in 2021.

A six-year drought has imperiled the country's entire agriculture sector, including farmers who grow cereals and grains used to feed humans and livestock. Belhoussni's plight is familiar to grain farmers throughout the world confronting a hotter and drier future. Climate change is imperiling the food supply and, in regions like North Africa, shrinking the annual yields of cereals that dominate diets around the world — wheat, rice, maize and barley. The organization has advised farmers on seeding, irrigation and drought mitigation as less rain falls and less water flows through Morocco's rivers. The amount of land seeded has dramatically shrunk as well, from 36,700 square kilometers to 9,540 square miles 24,700 square kilometers.

JOHANNESBURG, JULY 27: A record drought that has devastated crops across southern Africa, causing millions of people to go hungry and pushing 5 countries to declare a national disaster, is entering its worst stage, the UN has warned. “The worst period comes now”, WFP’s Acting Regional Director for southern Africa, Lola Castro, told AFP in an interview. According to some estimates, the drought is the worst to hit the region in 100 years, she said. “When you go now to rural productive areas of Southern Africa, what you see is a devastated scenario”, she said. It has so far received about $200 million, Castro said.

The slender-horned rhim gazelles, which are native to North Africa, have become an endangered species (Mahmud Turkia)Cocooned in white bags and nestled in the arms of volunteers, eight young rhim gazelles -- an endangered species native to North Africa -- have been transferred to an uninhabited Libyan island. Environmentalist hope their new home on Farwa island, near Tunisia, will be a haven for the vulnerable animal. As soon as they were released, the young gazelles took off frolicking before promptly disappearing behind the island's wild bushes. Farwa, though not their natural habitat, seems to have suited the first group of gazelles released on the island, Youssef Gandouz, an environmental activist, told AFP. "The vegetation on Farwa is sufficient" for the survival of rhim gazelles, said Ftess, and Gandouz added the narrow island "is now a safe haven where turtles and migratory birds can nest and feed".

In Sudan, at least 22 people were killed when the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked the city of al-Fashir, a pro-democracy activist group said on Saturday, the worst toll after weeks of stalemate on that front in the country’s civil war. The city is the national army’s last remaining position inthe Darfur region of Sudan and a key front in the war with the RSF that has turned Sudan into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The activist group said it had counted 22 bodies and thecasualty toll was expected to rise. The passports were recovered in Omdurman, north of Khartoum, which was recently retaken from the RSF by the Sudanese national army. Some of this support reportedly includes thermobaric bombs being dropped on various targets by drones.

For North Africa, crisis is actually goodHafed Al-GhwellPolitical elite in North Africa have found crises that plague the world to be beneficial for their governments. While Algeria’s government faced criticism for clamping down on journalists and activists, the indispensable role it has played in European energy security has resulted in increased Western favor. In Tunisia, President Kais Saied continues to exploit an escalating migration crisis to increase his political leverage. The turbulent global environment is providing North African countries with substantial geopolitical currency. Furthermore, Libya’s borders have become a conduit for sprawling illicit economies, which are magnifying the ramifications of the migrant crisis.
