|
Detailed explanation-1: -Conflict breeds hunger. It can displace farmers and destroy agricultural assets and food stocks. Or it can disrupt markets, driving up prices and damaging livelihoods. In this vicious circle, conflict and lack of food break down the very fabric of society, and all too often lead to violence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Edkins and De Waal argue that states in conflict zones are often repressive and starve their own populations by denying them food. Modern famines are, therefore, crimes committed by political leaders or powerful groups, who should be made accountable by law.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is widely recognised that famines are caused by political action, ranging from the deprivation of food, and the pursuit of political, economic and military objectives to culpable neglect.
