Sahel Countries on a Map

The Sahel is the hot semi-arid transition zone between the Sahara Desert to the north and the grassy savanna to the south. Can you name the countries with territory in this zone?
Based on this map from Wikipedia
The list of countries included can never be fully definitive. Whiners will be banished to the spirit realm.

I thought Sahel was way up north, in the Maghreb region. All because of the Etoile du Sahel (Star of Sahel) football club, which is Tunisian)

Sahel simply means shore in Arabic, so the Sahel here is a figurative shore with the desert being the sea and the Tunisian Sahel is a litteral shore
