📰 "Washington offers juntas in Sahel belt military aid in exchange for minerals"
🔹 From an ethical lens, such deals raise serious questions:
-Exploitation vs. Assistance: Is military aid being used as a bargaining chip to secure resources, rather than for genuine peace and security?
-Sovereignty & Justice: Do such arrangements respect the rights of local populations, or only empower ruling juntas?
-Humanitarian Cost: Prioritising minerals like lithium and gold over human development risks reducing entire societies to transactional value.
-Global Ethics Dilemma: When resource hunger dictates foreign policy, principles of fairness, equity, and sustainability get sidelined.
🔑 UPSC Insight:
This case highlights the tension between realpolitik (strategic interest) and ethical diplomacy (justice, human rights, sustainability).
