In 2018, after two cyclones hit Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia, desert locusts found fertile ground to start reproducing out of control, resulting in the worst desert locust crisis in living memory. 
The locusts quickly spread across Southwest Asia, and the Horn of Africa and threatened the West Africa region. 
FAO, thanks to the support of generous countries and donors, set up locust control and prevention in affected and potentially affected countries to minimise the damage caused by the Locusts.
