💨 Abstract

In Senegal, longstanding tensions between farmers and herders have escalated due to climate change, with declining rainfall and rising temperatures exacerbating conflicts. Cheikh Diouf's father was killed in a dispute over grazing land, highlighting the deadly consequences. Herders, primarily the Peul (Fulani) people, face challenges finding pasture as agricultural land expands. Both groups use tools like machetes, leading to violent clashes.
