United Africa: 11 countries build an 8,000 km wall with the aim of halting the Sahara Desert

The Great Green Wall 

The indiscriminate logging of forests and jungles worldwide is causing a cycle of rising temperatures and soil degradation, which allows deserts and arid zones to expand beyond their natural boundaries. To prevent this from happening in Africa's Green Belt , 11 countries have joined forces to build a natural barrier of trees stretching from east to west, preventing the Sahara from encroaching southward across the continent.

This initiative, known as the Great Green Wall , stretches 8,000 kilometers from Djibouti to Senegal . The project began in 2007. In 2021, during the Paris summit, the European Union, the World Bank, and the African Union pledged $14 million to accelerate the planting efforts.

The goal is to restore 100 million hectares of currently degraded land, capture 250 million tons of carbon , and create 10 million green jobs by 2030. Saving these territories from desertification allows farming communities to continue producing food on nutrient-rich land.

Germany's squad for the 2026 World Cup: Manuel Neuer, who had retired, is the surprise.

 Julian Nagelsmann, the German national team coach , confirmed his 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup . The 38-year-old German manager surprised many by selecting Manuel Neuer , despite the fact that the 40-year-old Bayern Munich goalkeeper is set to retire from international football in 2024 and had recently promised not to return.

After winning their last World Cup in Brazil in 2014, Germany was eliminated in the group stage at Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022. The German national team will debut in the upcoming World Cup against Curaçao at NRG Stadium in Houston on June 14. Then, on June 20 at BMO Field in Toronto, they will face Ivory Coast. And they will conclude their participation in Group E against Ecuador at East Rutherford Stadium in New Jersey on June 25.
