BBC Mali lake vanishing in a warming climate 6 Oct 2021 By Christine Otieno
「Mali in West Africa is one of the poorest countries in the world. It’s also considered one of the most vulnerable to climate change.
The International Committee of the Red Cross is warning that the climate crisis is making an already dire situation there much worse ? the country consists mainly of desert or semi-desert and water is becoming a dwindling precious resource.
A dry bed is what remains of Lake Faguibine. It is situated 80km (49miles) west of Timbuktu. Sand dunes have replaced the vast expanse of water and the temperature can reach 50C (122F).」
「"At COP26 we call on world leaders to take concrete action, concrete engagement, to bring climate action closest to those suffering in silence, where unfortunately, and until today, the action has been underwhelming to say the least,” said Patrick Youssef of International Committee of the Red Cross.」

The scandal involves more than $2.7bn (￡2bn) of undisclosed state debts - money which the government borrowed to set up a sophisticated tuna industry - to buy trawlers and military patrol boats, but much of it was allegedly diverted to corrupt officials.」
