Arid lands The recent droughts in Africa have been minor
compared to those of previous centuries, say scientists. These

equatorial East Africa. In certain regions, these droughts could be
more of a problem than global warming and the major worry is the
natural variability in rainfall. 29 JANUARY 2000, P. 18
