The Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region
DL Situation
Desert Locust Bulletin, No. 536, May 2023
CAUTION IN WESTERN REGION
Control operations increased during the spring season in
Northwest Africa
and
Saudi Arabia
in May. In
Saudi Arabia
, breeding continued on the central and northern Red Sea coast as well as in the interior where hopper groups and bands and immature adult groups were controlled by air and ground. As temperature increases and no rains are expected, adult groups should decline due to the control. In Yemen, small-scale breeding may occur in the interior. In
Northwest Africa
, hopper groups and bands and immature adult groups occurred south of the Atlas Mountains in
Morocco
as well as further south in
Western Sahara
. Some of the immature adult groups arrived in
western Algeria
and
northern Mauritania
. Control was carried out in all areas. During the forecast, any adult groups that are not controlled in the northwest will move south in June to
southern Mauritania
where they are likely to disperse as scattered adults. The summer rains are expected to begin in the northern Sahel early this year in about mid-June, which means that breeding should start in early July. A few groups could also scatter and breed in
southern Algeria
,
northern Mali
, and
Niger
. Elsewhere, small-scale breeding may occur in the interior of
Sudan
and
western Eritrea
once rainfall starts.
