*** The budget of some groups can be more than billion dollars and it is a crucial determinant to the outcome of the [[guerre|war]] [[guerre civile|civil wars]] break out when [[rebel groups]] can't fund themselves [[guerre civile|civil wars]] need to be funded because they are very expensive, and there are several funding sources : - *foreign funding* (e.g., USA, USSR during the [[guerre froide]]. Ideological friendship) - *natural ressources* (ex : petroleum in Iraq) - *other organizations* such as [[Al-Qaïda]] can fund other [[guerre civile|civil wars]] The Occidental Asia is vulnerable because they are a lot of funders The islamic [[État|state]] funded itself with petroleum so their opponents decided to bomb infrastructures so the EI couldn't keep the [[guerre|war]] on going. The more actors you have in [[guerre civile|civil wars]], the longer it is going to last **What happen when the group can't fund itself with the two precedent methods ?** -> it disappears ou alors -> they can engage in *criminal activities* like Boko Haram which is right now a really powerful organization. It happened because they were operating in desert, far from the [[État|state]]. They weren't too much disturbed by the [[État|state]]. Some locals give [[monnaie|money]] to Boko Haram to not be attacked. Another factor that helped them was the "end" of the [[guerre civile|civil war]] in Libya. It created a surplus of weapon and combattants so Boko Haram could acquire them at a very reasonable price. ## Notes de bas de page ``` dataview TABLE length(file.outlinks) AS "Liens sortants", length(file.inlinks) AS "Liens entrants" WHERE file.path = this.file.path ```
