Source: Love in the Sahel by Harvey Lilley. October 08, 2001. 

In the Sahel, the semi-arid border between the Sahara and the savanna, people mark the passage of time with ceremony and tradition. As the hot sun beats down on the Niger River delta, the annual Fulani cattle drive is underway. Young Yero Cisse must leave his family and travel hundreds of miles across parched earth with his family’s cattle in search of adequate grazing land. As he travels through the desolate landscape, he and his fellow herders must survive on milk, and what little they can trade in the widely scattered villages of the Sahel.
