The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Anywhere you have high winds and exposed sand/dust, you get sandstorms. Not unlike how having high humidity in a temperate zone leads to thunderstorms and tornadoes.
When I was in Iraq we had our share of sand storms, I don't recall to many of them actually looking like a wall of fething sand heading at us (seriously, it was like, one day, it would just be hazy, then by lunch the sun would look red and you'd go "ohh, must be a sand storm on then", it was kind of weird)

The Sahara has more fine sand particles which allows for higher altitude dust in addition to the lower sand elsewhere. Which is why they get the very distinct walls of sand rather than a nebulous haze.
