A young sorghum seed struggles to grow in the region of Affole in Mauritania where farmers who were once nomads built a dam. Successive droughts and the attractions of settled life have reduced that figure of nomadic herders to about 10%. Almost half of Mauritanians live in the capital, Nouakchott, which was no more than a coastal village fifty years ago. (Photo by Ami Vitale)
