Burkina Faso & The Sahel
Over 10 years of armed conflict in the western Sahel region of Africa amplified the ongoing deterioration of the humanitarian situation across Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. War has no borders, so what started with violent outbursts in Mali, back in January 2012, ended up in multiple attacks across the region, which were initiated in 2021, and according to UNOCHA, made 500,000 people move out of the country in only one year.
Now, UNOCHA estimated that there are 3.5 million people who need humanitarian aid, and UNICEF estimated 2.6 million children who require assistance. Even if the conflict goes on for over a decade, the violence has escalated in the last year to dissolved ceasefires and renewed hostilities. Humanitarian aid is estimating that the conflict will get even worse in 2022.

WWI was supposed to “…make the world safe for democracy…” and be “…the war to end all wars…” yet it’s said something like there has there been no war worldwide for only eight years in recorded history. Organizations like the United Nations and countries that have not experienced war first-hand; or for a very long time, have to get together and try to find ways to stop current wars and prevent future ones. It ‘s disgusting that after two major world wars; I and II, little or nothing has been done to stop wars since, like America questionably being in Vietnam for something like 14 years, and later again questionably twice in Iraq and then in Afghanistan hunting OBL but which lasted for about two decades. Russia has now started a war in Ukraine so the nature of humanity itself can be called into question not criticizing those who were against war and have historically done what they could to stop it.
