Now, in \u003ci\u003eThe Dying Sahara\u003c\/i\u003e, he reveals how the designation of the region as a 'Terror Zone' has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of thousands of innocent people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning in 2004, with what local people called the US 'invasion' of the Sahel, \u003ci\u003eThe Dying Sahara\u003c\/i\u003e shows how repressive, authoritarian regimes - cashing in on US terrorism 'rents' - provoked Tuareg rebellions in both Niger and Mali.
