cuts Mali off at a politically difficult spot.
And Sudan, Ethiopia/Eritrea etc. But is it really a question of "cut-off?" Trees for peace :)
it's a great idea but given the issue of N/S division in Mali, adding a geographic barrier seems cntrvrsl
How is planting trees a barrier? It is a wall of trees, not a physical barrier @ArchieHenry2 @qzafrica
trees are a physical barrier, esp as they complicate movement of ground troops
That is not what is happening with the trees are being planted according to this article @ArchieHenry2 @qzafrica
I'm supportive but wary of politicization of this process.
It is turning out to be an eco-development effort and not the original barrier to desert sprawl @ArchieHenry2 @qzafrica
