Hello meshug-ga,

The answer is "doubtful". While kudzu grows in most soil types, it
needs an annual rainful of 40mm or more to grow. The annual rainfall
of the Sahara is 0mm to 25mm.

And now I feel like a goofball. 

The end of the question should state... 

If this answer requires further explanation, please request
clarification before rating it, and I'll be happy to look into this
further.

I apoligize for the other "blurb". I should make sure my "copy"
shortcut (browser plugin for firefox) works next time before I post.

Sorry,
Nenna-GA

No, kudzu likes a moist climate.
