War, like any political order, is a constructed thing. It’s human. No natural law commands it, and there’s nothing about it that’s immutable or permanent.

the notion that there are societies incapable of breaking out of their own deadly logic of conflict. However enormous it may seem, the conflict in DRC is as inevitable as any other. There is nothing inevitable about it - Armin Rosen
