People Affected by Conflict

About the Issue

Where conflict occurs, the local population face immense challenges as a result of the fighting. Civil war, armed insurgency and civil unrest bring about deep poverty and immense suffering for local communities. African conflicts are also driven by poverty as armed groups fight over limited resources. Civilians are hit the hardest when conflict erupts. Combatants survive by looting the meagre possessions of poor communities which leaves those, who have little, ending up with absolutely nothing.
