The essay uses secondary research, and comparative methodology. The aim of the essay is to establish if natural resources plays any role in the conflicts experienced by regions which have continuously seen civil wars, and if so, to what degree. The two cases examined in this thesis are of South Sudan and Gambella in Ethiopia. A comparative analysis is used due to the approaches in political science studies, especially for cases that show huge differences or huge similarities as well as data sources in use of literature reviews. The results show a trivial effect of expertise as what previous scholars established had been confirmed. Furthermore, it proves that equal sharing and usage of natural resources is crucial for preventing conflicts. This study emphasizes the need to understand the relationship between natural resources and the risk for civil conflict, along with the scholars previous findings.
