| Summary/Abstract |
Drury and Oslon (1997, 1998) found a relationship between natural disasters and political unrest and the variables such as insufficient and inequitable government response and the severity of the disaster. It has been further found in few studies conducted by various scholars that vulnerabilities created by natural disasters can be exploited by rebel groups; droughts increase civil war in Africa and that natural disasters increase the risk of violent civil conflict in the short and medium term in low and middle income countries.
