Abstract

In international affairs, the Sahara Desert is often used as a dividing line between the African regions south of the Sahara Desert and north of the Sahara Desert. The African continent south of the Sahara Desert, also known as the sub-Saharan Africa or sub-Saharan region, is home to black people or Nile Valley peoples. It is also the world’s most impoverished region with the most complex spectrum of diseases. Communicable diseases such as AIDS, Ebola virus disease, and malaria all have complicated relations with this region.
