Lake Chad, Africa's fourth largest lake after Lake Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa has lost 90% of its water in the last four decades, an environmental catastrophe which threatens the livelihood of over 30 Million.
According to the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), the social and economic repercussions of the drying up of the lake may not only affect the African sub-Saharan region but also pose a potential challenge to Europe as a favorite destination for massive migration movements.

Ahead of an international donors' campaign to save Lake Chad, AlQarra meets with Executive Secretary of the Lake Chad Basin Commission, Engr. Sanusi Imran Abdullahi to talk about the SAVE LAKE CHAD initiative.
