Rebels in Chad show the nature of locals by Martina Harvanova

On the first sight it might seem in developing countries where people do not have the opportunities to live a life of welfare and sufficiency of almost everything, the only problem is to ensure everybody gets an adequate supply of the primary stuff such as water, food and health care. Although most of us consider it this way, the true is a bit different. Kenya or Chad act as recent examples of prevalence of solving the social and political conflicts over assuring the basic day existence. The post-election unrest and violence in Kenya caused deaths of about 1,000 people. The conflicts originate more in political misunderstandings, but the ethnic discrepancy contributed to the still worsening situation as well, or as the analysts affirm, exactly the ethnicity mobilized the outrage. However, Kenya isn't the only African country that is facing serious troubles among the inhabitants themselves. Also Chad belongs to the list of countries where the violence prevails the peaceful existence of the local people side by side. The conflict has its roots in disagreement between Chad and Sudan. Chad has accused Sudan of being behind the latest violence in Chad to prevent Europe from deploying a peacekeeping force to the border region, a mission Sudan has resisted. Both countries have long exchanged charges and denials of supporting the other's rebels. This year the violence sharpened when the rebels stormed into the capital of the oil-producing central African country and caused extensive turmoil. Chad Red Cross officials said hundreds of civilians have died, most from bullet wounds and the figure of wounded ones mounted up to 1,000. One wouldn't conceive the solving of mainly political conflicts can overweight the basic needs. Countries, where people are in serious danger due to an insufficient supply of water or health care, unveil their natural character. Revenge exceeds the primary needs, desire to express their own opinions or status is apparently more than basic survival.
