Inequality Can Lead To Wider Spread Of Military Conflicts, Letter To Cameron Says

The Guardian: Global inequality risks spread of military conflicts, Cameron warned
“David Cameron is warned today by Graça Machel, widow of the late South African statesman Nelson Mandela, that unless world leaders made 2015 a year for development, the consequence would not just be poverty but also growing military conflicts from which the rich would be unable to protect themselves for decades to come. … The letter presses the prime minister to take the lead on an international U.N. framework agreement on climate change in 2015, and to secure an agreement on new tighter U.N. Millennium Development Goals…” (Wintour, 7/17).
