Chocolate Wars!

Recommended Posts

Of all the crazy wars going on in the world at the moment, this one probably makes the most sense:

how cocoa fuelled the conflict in Côte d’Ivoire

Quote

This report – Global Witness's first report dedicated to the cocoa sector in Côte d'Ivoire(iii) – documents how revenues from the cocoa trade have contributed to funding armed conflict and how opportunities for enrichment from cocoa through corruption and misuse of revenues, both by the government and the rebel group Forces Nouvelles (FN), continue to undermine the resolution of the crisis.



Finally, something worth fighting for.
Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
