Many wars that are fought in the world are fought over natural resources.
Some wars are fought because the environment is so degraded that it is not able
to support communities and so they fight over the little that is left. Others are
fought because some people want to take a lot of the resources, to control them,
and to keep many other people out.
Now whether this happens at the national level or at the regional level, or
even at the global level, sooner or later there is discontent; and when that
discontent is strong enough, there is conflict. So good management of the natural resources, equitable distribution of these resources, is important for peace. At
the same time, good management of the natural resources is not possible if you
do not have democratic space, respect for human beings, respect for human
rights, giving other people dignity.
That is why the three themes are related, like the African stool, with three
legs and the basin on which you sit. The three legs: one leg is peace, the other leg
is good governance, the third leg is sustainable management of resources. When
you have those three legs, now you can put the basin, which is development. And
if you try to balance that stool without those three, it won’t happen.
We have not shared our resources equitably. We have allowed some
people, especially those in power, to acquire a lot at the expense of the majority.
And we have also engaged in conflict.
