Failure to do so will leave some communities vulnerable and make those resisting the disarmament find sanctuary in the neighbouring countries. Considering previous governments have failed to disarm the Karamojong cattle rustlers, the article argues that there is need for Uganda to co-ordinate its disarming efforts with Kenya and Sudan. Relationships with states, alienation of pastoral land, cultural issues and questions of livelihood are all examined, using empirical evidence collected by the researcher for the period between 20. More important however is to appreciate the complex reasons behind the demand for small arms. The main sources and routes, and the current costs of arms and ammunition are provided. Understanding the sources and mechanisms of arms acquisition is a significant step in curbing the cattle rustling. The creation of paramilitary institutions in rural Karamoja sub-region and the neighbouring areas are an example of how legal arms are entering communities and intensifying the conflicts of cattle rustlings further. State management has been largely unsuccessful and often counterproductive in reducing numbers of small arms. Despite this lack of symmetry, the key findings of this book provide a useful starting point from which governments and corporations can develop strategies to contribute to the necessary redistribution of economic resources and create a new diplomacy of peace building, which are discussed as two key solutions to the climate crisis.ĪBSTRACT Recent decades have seen an escalation in interethnic resource conflicts of persistent cattle rustling and banditry among pastoralists in the Karamoja sub-region of Uganda, fuelled by a growing number of small arms. However, he follows his arguments with optimistic solutions that seem disproportionate to the mountain of evidence he presents to draw attention to the oncoming catastrophic convergence of poverty, climate change and violence. This review reveals that Parenti provides an abundance of examples to support his somber vision of current conditions and possible outcomes.
Through an evaluation of Parenti’s argument and evidence, this report examines the implications of this precrisis environment on the strategic decisions of energy companies. In this book, Parenti offers a sweeping vision of a gathering catastrophe - the convergence of climate change and the pre-existing political and economic conditions that make this world “primed for crisis” (7). This report examines Christian Parenti’s Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence (2011).
