John’s Reviews > Scarcity and Surfeit: The Ecology of Africa's Conflicts > Status Update

Dense! Is it greed or grievance that causes the numerous wars in sub Saharan Africa? Or is it a combination of both? The authors agree that it's both but clearly greed is the ladder to all the chaos.

In Somali it is the greed is in the clans fighting to control the most productive resources(deegan) which is mostly fertile land in Jubbaland.

I am surprised the Hargeisa Holocaust was not discussed here.
