Cross River State annually experiences. natural disaster portfolios such as flood, wind storm, acid rain and hail stones which cause devastation.
.
But what wreaks more havoc now are conflicts among communities in the state.
.
One can, on the fingers of one hand, count the number of communities in the state that have not engaged in one form of intra or inter communal conflict at one time of the other with. consequent loss of lives and destruction of property.
.
These conflicts are sparked by trivial misunderstanding or squabble for land for agricultural activity particularly during the planting season, January to June.
.
Though the state is blessed with, large expanse of fertile land, this is hardly considered enough as communities seek to acquire more by encroaching on that of neighbours and this often leads to confrontation and then "war".
