Sudan - Al-Fashir - Aerial view of Darfur town and desert

Aerial view of Al Fasher (also spelled, Al-Fashir) the front-line town in north Darfur during a tribal war resulting from colonial land-use. Basic housing is seen against the barren and scorched red earth in this area of south-western Sudan. The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert. At over 9,000,000 square kilometers (3,500,000 sq mi), it covers most of Northern Africa, making it almost as large as the United States or the continent of Europe.
