About
North Africa is a region of strategic importance due to its oil reserves and Mediterranean location. China's growing presence in the region is a response to the energy crisis caused by the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Migrant deaths in the Mediterranean are mounting, with over 1,000 reported since the start of 2026. Saharan dust is affecting various parts of the world, including Europe and North Africa, causing orange sunsets and air quality issues. The region's relevance is also highlighted by Christian Zionism and Israel's claims to wider territories in West Asia and North Africa.
