This will likely change once Africa becomes the most populous continent, which is expected to happen somewhere around 2100.

Not unless Sahara is going to become a green grassland again. With the way the climate change is going, unlikely.

Three points are worth making here.

Nobody lives in the Sahara, the population centers in Africa are in the tropical regions and the Mediterranean.

Africa will be the only continent experiencing population growth post-2050. Africa's largest economy, Nigeria, is expected to become the third most populous country in the world by 2050.

The effects of climate change on monsoon-dependent areas (the Mediterreanean coast of Africa and the semi-arid regions bordering the southern parts of the Sahara) are not well-understood and the effects are more complicated than everything will become a desert. For example, the Indian monsoon is expected to produce 10% more rainfall because higher temperatures allow the air to collect more moisture. This is going to be a huge boon for certain semi-arid regions of the country.

Actually the Sahara Savannah is cause my an increase in temperatures

Couldn't they build more green walls until the sahara is covered?

I also expect population prognoses to change many times before 2100.
