This didn't tell us much. No numbers on how the project is doing. What is working so far and what isn't.

They don't even mention the Great Green Wall until 2/3 of the way through. It's like a documentary about the Brooklyn Bridge that spends the first half explaining what gravity is.

One of the most important projects in our lifetime. To think that the Sahara was once a vast, fertile agriculture zone prior to desertification is astounding. I hope it succeeds!

3:28min Picture of the Sonora desert! never knew this is in Africa!

This may be the worst video on the great green wall I have seen. It said next to nothing on a now rather old project and nothing about how it is going.

I hope this great green wall was successful

Political integration should precede economic integration, hence why regional economic has failed to reduce poverty and intra Africa trade is still low, there must be single passport and quality infrastructure for free movement of persons and goods

The nerd in me is going to disagree that it's the driest :p, but still, awesome content!

[hebierob]

Disappointed! No real information about the green wall until the end. D-

They should tap China's help. China's expert on this matter.

People must first leave Abrahamic religion and think of their ancestors who survived this vast landscape with full of greenery. People must dedicate to achieve this goal asap for their future generation without going for any kind of war. Concentrating the goal

I wonder how this youtuber excluded the three east African countries (Ethiopia, Djibouti and Eretria ) among the UN targeted list of 11 Sahel regions where the GGW projects have been initiated and started operation since 2015???

Nice. But most of the wars in Africa are primarily due to interference of external forces like the West. Evidence of this is now available. Most people don't kill each other because they don't have land for grazing their animals or plant crops. Yes, back in the 1800s, the wars were for expanding local influence.

It's just called the Sahara. Not Sahara desert. (sahara means desert)

[nbnrtxb]

It's almost a video about nothing. I love the concept, but this has no practical or detailed content.

[PacoOtis]

Pitiful juvenile video with a horrible script that tells us little!

[azraellucifer]

there's no country called Western Sahara btw ! there's Morocco and it includes what's called Western sahara ! you can check that out simply by searching few cities from there such as Dakhla !! or you can fly there to get a stamp on your passport saying Kingdom of Morocco . fix the goddamn map next time

If they plant apple trees then there will be a solution
