War zone aid 'fuels more conflicts' Guardian Sunday, 14 January 2007 15:05:12 EST
Billions of pounds of aid spent in postwar reconstruction across the globe creates political instability and violence, according to a controversial new study.
The controversy follows the disastrous outcomes of a series of major reconstruction programmes: in Iraq and Afghanistan, where ineffective rebuilding plans have been beset by problems with corruption; in Sri Lanka following the tsunami, where the distribution of aid has contributed to the restarting of the civil war; and in the reconstruction of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, where over $1bn in aid has already been wasted.
