Description: The rich silt deposited annually in the Tokar delta historically supported intensive agriculture in the region, including an export cotton industry. From 1993 to 2005, the conflict between Sudan and Eritrea forced the local population off the land, leading some 50,000 hectares to become overgrown with a dense thicket of the invasive mesquite tree. The land is now gradually being cleared an converted back to agriculture.
