[00:00:00]The instability is also is all linked as well globally.

[00:00:04]Yeah. What's like a a practical way that the that for example al-Shabaab or a and you know a a conflict amongst a country's people like in Somalia and the climate impacts interact is it is it that cuz I think I I've read that they they kind of take over where people can go and get water and that mean and because there's fewer of those places um it puts more pressure on the ones that do exist. But how how do those two like the conflict and the climate impacts how do they interact? Yeah, so so if we do take like al-Shabaab for example they do like pollute or bomb or control water points. So they are they are recognizing that they can have much more control over a community if they control the resources.

[00:00:54]Um equally they control taxation of goods coming in and out of communities.

[00:00:59]So their financial revenue systems and their protection revenue systems are very very advanced and so through that they're able to hold and control communities.
