Could a group of more dysfunctional countries be found in the World than the ones that are supposed to conduct this project? The head of state of Chad Idris Deby was killed IN BATTLE a couple of weeks ago. Not suprisingly his son took over from him. A great deal of the Sahel and the adjoining desert are basically not under the control of any government. Foriegners are subject to murder or kidnapping, unless of course they are US or European special forces soldiers who are fighting the fanaticism and banditry in the region. With this kind of instability, people can't get tanks of propane to cook, so they use the wood from the Great Green Wall. and away goes the forest.
