having suffered from chronic underdevelopment since colonial times.
Suffered is a judgement based term. It projects a basis of living onto another that a rural lifestyle free from development is wrong, that the people who live on that land have the right to do with it as they see fit within universal being rights, but that resources should be provided from areas of greater development, or the proffering of such resources. That access to resources not be restricted, and if we can stop the accumulation of wealth. And this is a human reaction jumping to assumptions reading it. Waiting to post. reading more and being pleasantly surprised at the change in tone.
