The remnants of war

The weapons left behind after a war has ended can hold back recovery, contributing to crime, unplanned explosions, deaths, injuries and damage to infrastructure. This Development Update looks at the impacts such munitions have on development using a case study of an explosion in Brazzaville. It is useful for topics on development and conflict

Images of conflict flash on to our television screens every day: mine clearers treading gingerly in front of troops in Afghanistan, government and militia forces street-fighting in Syria, streams of internally displaced people trying to escape fighting between different factions.

And when the fighting stops and a fragile peace is established, the media correspondents and film crews pack up and move on to their next assignment. The media attention, and with it much of the general public’s collective concern, soon evaporate when the violence stops. But this is where the real challenge of development begins.
