As shown by a new study, this vast strip of North Africa flips from arid desert to lush green woodland every 21,000 years or so. The last period in which the Sahara was a green woodland occurred between 15,000 and 5,000 years ago. Their work notes that the humid periods did not occur during the Ice Ages when much of the Earth’s high latitudes were caked in thick glacial ice sheets. The cyclical transformation of North Africa isn’t just a big deal for the Sahara, it also has huge implications for our own story. After all, some of humans’ biggest early feats – the migrations out of Africa – were largely dictated by the condition of the Sahara.

The Multi-Party Charter, commonly known as “the Moonshot Pact,” is the first formal multiparty agreement of its nature in recent South African politics. Nevertheless, South Africa’s opposition parties have struggled to make significant inroads into the ANC’s majority. In 2019, the ANC under President Cyril Ramaphosa won a hefty 57.5 percent of the vote. Cronje claims that few opposition voters actually care about the party they vote for. In contrast, his research reveals that there is still a lingering nostalgia among South Africans for the ANC, which was, after all, the party of liberation from apartheid.

As he was flipping through old photographs, he remembered the last meal she made for him: a meaty merguez stew ablaze with harissa (called markat merguez, tajine merguez or markat kaaber, depending on whom you ask). It was fine-tuned, the dish at its maximum potential: pickled olives and red peppers swimming in a deep-crimson pool of olive oil, with headily spiced meatballs bobbing like floats.
