Those who do not comply are considered hostile, and appropriate action be taken. Once a safe environment is established, aid agencies can enter to assist in any humanitarian issues, and appropriate groups should be tasked to direct rebuilding efforts regarding critical infrastructure. With that the natural market should create a need which would be fulfilled by internal sources, or create trade via importation.

Coming from someone who wrote a groundbreaking, IMHO, paper on the subject I am humbled by your statement. Security/Economic need, right. Gotta address both here. Thank you Fatty
