Communities 'pushed to the limits'
Until the late 20th century, the Sahel -- the transitional zone between the desert and the tropical south --
was peppered with baobab and acacia trees as well as sparse grass cover.
But now desertification is changing the landscape and invading on precious agricultural and habitable land.
"Communities who are already very vulnerable -- who are already suffering from impoverishment,
who may be in areas that may be affected by climate change --
are pushed to the limits of their coping mechanisms," Yonetani said.
Desertification is encroaching on valuable agricultural land -- affecting the livelihoods of many Sudanese farmers.

The livelihoods for farmers located in thousands of villages spread across this region are becoming increasingly
strained because of heat stress and persistent drought.
According to a report by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA),
it is estimated 1.9 million people will be affected by reduced agricultural and livestock production --
due to the impacts of the weather phenomenon,
El Niño. Locals are experiencing smaller farming areas, poor pastures and limited water availability.
And 3.2 million people are expected to face water shortages, causing what OCHA says is
a "further deterioration of already fragile sanitation and hygiene conditions."

(OCHA), 3.2 million people are expected to face water shortage.
Sometimes locals are forced to walk for miles to find a water point.

IDMC's Yonteani said this crisis wasn't a humanitarian crisis, "It's a crisis of development."
But head of Program for the World Food Programme (WFP) in Sudan,
Marco Cavalcante, told CNN it's not too late to change the country's future.
"This trend is not unstoppable if important measures are taken."
