We've examined a number of conflicts in which natural resources might play a negative effect, in fact. The resource curse has been mentioned, when we look at various conflicts in the world. The Congo has $24 trillion in unexploited natural mineral resources, in diamonds, zinc, gold, and cobalt. Everybody in this room has a bit of cobalt in their phone.
Can you speak to this issue, the role that natural resources have played in, it would seem, perpetuating conflict? If it is not in perpetuating conflict, frame it as you wish, but it seems that natural resources have not had a positive effect on the country's development and have fed into the conflict.
