Topik: Stealth Conflicts; Violence Fulltext: 200.full.pdf (88.79KB) Isi artikel Ask a group of students, or a cross-section of the general public, or perhaps even a group of academics, to name the most violent conflict since the end of the Cold War, and it is likely that most would give any one of the following answers: the Iraq War, Afghanistan, the Balkans or perhaps even the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Tragic and brutal as those conflicts have been, however, none of those answers is correct. The most violent conflict of modern times, and in fact quite possibly the most destructive of the last halfcentury, is the conflict that has ravaged the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since 1998. It is estimated to have claimed 5.4 million lives (mostly as a result of starvation and preventable diseases). Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
