*DEATH - DESPAIR - HOPELESSNESS* - For most of the world, for the majority of the peoples of the world,,,,,,,, Life remained and remains under siege to-

Climatic changes, illiteracy, poverty, zero governance, utter corruption, misjudgments, misdirections, miscalculations, lack of coherence and in many, many futuristic cases, that would spell :

*The end of the Nation State*. 

THE SAHEL - WHICH includes Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger, Mali and Mauritania - is hopelessly vulnerable to droughts and floods and -

*Faces constant, constant food insecurity*.

The UN Food Agency warns of terrible migrant crisis in the works:

''Mother after Mother will tell you that 'My husband did not want to join ISIS or al-Qaida, but we had no food,'  and if you haven't fed your little girl or little boy in two weeks and the alternative is signing up with ISIS, you sign up.''

THE HEAD OF THE UNITED NATIONS food agency warned last Monday that the relocation of  Islamic State group members -

From the Middle East to Africa could trigger an unbelievable massive new European migrant crisis.

David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Program, and many of the militants who fled Syria amid the collapse of the Islamic State group's self described caliphate had ended up in the great Sahel region-

A belt of semi arid land spanning east-west across Africa and home to 500 million people.

Islamic State militants are now collaborating with other extremist groups, including aI-Qaida, al-Shabab and Boko Haram, to create ''extraordinary difficulties'' across the Sahel, Basel said in an interview with The Associated Press.

He said he has warned European leaders that they could face a far larger migrant crisis from the  Sahel than the Syrian conflict generated if they do not help provide the region with food and stability.

''You're talking about the greater Sahel region of 500 million people, so the Syrian crisis could be like a drop in the bucket compared to what's coming your way,'' Beasley said he told them.

''What they are now doing is coming into an already fragile area, a very destabilized area because of climate impact and governance, and they're infiltrating, recruiting using food as a weapon of recruitment to destabilize so that they can have mass migration into Europe,'' he said.

''Mother after mother will tell you that :

''My husband did not want to join ISIS or aI-Qaeda, but we had no food, and if you haven't fed your little girl or little boy in two weeks and the alternative is signing up with ISIS, you sign up,'' Beasley added, referring to the group, also known as Islamic State of Syria and Iraq.

The World Food program wants to provide stability, economic growth and sustainable development as well as food to the region, said Beasley, who was in Australia for talks with the government on funding strategies.

The Sahel which includes Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger, Mali and Mauritania - is vulnerable to droughts and floods and faces constant food insecurity.

Five nations have also been grappling with a growing menace from extremists, including groups linked to aI-Qaida's North Africa branch.

In February 2017, the so-called ''Group of Five'' agreed to assemble a 5,000 strong force to combat extremist groups, organized rime and human trafficking.

UN experts monitoring the implementation of sanctions on Mali warned this month that the conflict -wracked West African nation and its neighbors ''face intensified terrorist threats,'' especially in the border area between Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.

The experts interim report said the militant group calling itself the official aI-Qaida branch in Mali and the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara extremist group have declared that ''jihadist groups are working together'' to fight the 5,000 troops.

In January, the UN Security Council threatened sanctions against parties in Mali who obstruct or delay the full implementation of the peace deal agreed to by Mali's government, Tuareg separatists and armed groups.

The experts concluded after their Mali visit in February that ''all parties to the agreement are responsible for delays.''

Mali has been in turmoil since a 2012 uprising prompted mutinous soldiers to overthrow the country's president.

The power vacuum that was created ultimately led to the Islamic urgency and a French-led war that ousted the jihadists from power in 2013.

But insurgent remain active in the region.

The UN panel said ''insecurity continues to rage and is now shifting increasingly towards the center of the country'' from the north.
