Figure 1 somewhat visualises this narrative whereby a rebel in Angola is seen to be guarding a diamond mine.
Chilling examples of conflict in Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Sudan and other resource rich regions of Africa often tempts scholars into arguing that resources cause conflict. The competition in Africa appears to be over the revenue generated from scarce natural resources which often leads to violent conflict. Evolutionary biologists have long argued that competition over scarce natural resources is one of the key drivers of violent conflict within and across species.
