Bad sentences

Security is a precondition for development and must be prioritised after conflict, but achieving this can sometimes be at the cost of accelerated development.

???. A poor choice of words from the DFID press room…

RB, I'd be interested to hear more precisely why you see this as a poor choice of words.

Is it because security should be prioritised before conflict?

Is it because you disagree there is a tradeoff between security and growth?

Is it just they mangled the syntax and used lots of big words?
