Great Regulars: Desertification is a plague that upsets

the traditional balance between people, their habitat, and the socio-economic systems by which they live. Because desertification disturbs a region's natural resource base, it promotes insecurity. Insecurity leads to strife. If allowed to degenerate, strife results in inter-clan feuding, civil war, cross-border raiding and military confrontation.
