Africa in the New York Times
Posted by Ms. Four on 17 May 2008
Two articles from today’s online New York Times caught my attention.
First, some new research suggests that the transition of northern Africa from Savannah to Sahara was gradual and over about 6000 years.
Next, alarmingly, the Times reports that regional war and the global increase in food prices portend a major famine in the Horn of Africa.
