"From a European perspective West Africa is portrait as a region of multiple crisis such as war, Islamist jihadism and migration. Whereas these do have direct consequences for the local population, there are other dynamics which impact the lives of millions of people in the region but go under the radar of the European public. One of them is the “crisis” of pastoralism – the increased pressure on the livelihood strategies of (semi-)nomadic herders in the Sahel. In this lecture I would like to discuss this phenomenon and how it feeds into a number of more widely reported “crisis” and needs to be better understood to get a more comprehensive picture of developments and challenges in the region."
