The Sahel Province was a moderately sized province located in the valley of the Torres and Sahel rivers. The province had the lowest human development out of anywhere in Bahia, and was the center of the Sahelia Insurgency, a civil conflict based around the region's large social disparities. The province was the largest producer of natural resources in the country, and had large untapped oil reserves in its northern region. The province was later dissolved into the Torres Province.
Geography and Topography
Land
The province lies mostly within the Sahel Valley, at the convergence of the Sahel and Torres Rivers. About 80% of the province is made up of dry savannahs, and the other 20% is located in the Danakil Desert. Most of the province is flat but the edges of the valley contain large cliffs.
List of Hills and Mountains
The Sahel Province is generally flat, and all of the elevated areas are located along the eastern and western borders. The highest point entirely within the province is Sahel Peak.
- Sahelia Mound '78
- North Mound '78
- East Hill '77
- Sahel Peak '92
Weather
The province's inland location in a valley at the convergence of the Danakil Desert and the Central Savannahs leads to extreme summer and winter temperatures, with heat being trapped in the valley year-round. The province is fairly dry, with the driest areas being in the northeast and the wettest areas being in the southwest, nearer to the Coral Sea.
