Ex-UN official: ‘Control livestock trade with the Gulf to halt Sudan war’ - Dabanga Radio TV Online
<💬>
A former UN and Oxfam official expressed his belief that the main driver of the ongoing war in Sudan is livestock exports to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. Nicholas Stockton argues that excluding livestock exports from Sudan’s conflict zones would significantly weaken the economic incentives driving violence in agricultural areas.

In case anyone is hearing about the genocide... no, not that one, the other one... in Sudan - not many are aware of the economic aspects of the conflict. The ones that are usually the most important ones in a conflict.
Those more familiar with the conflicts in this part of World are aware of the "farmer-herder" conflicts.
