The greatest irony of war?

It punishes those who neither start it nor benefit from it.

Developing countries absorb the shock. The poorest within them absorb the pain.

And it doesn’t stop at war. Floods, droughts, storms – every crisis follows the same script.

Uncertainty is not neutral. It amplifies inequality. Or, we can say, it doesn’t affect everyone equally.

The vulnerable don’t just fall behind – they are pushed further down.

Perhaps the real question is : are our systems designed to protect the most vulnerable from falling deeper each time?
