English term or phrase: This contrast is driven from the fact

Hello everyone,

There are different challenges that the media faces. Reporters without Borders ranked Afghanistan 147 out of 178 countries in terms of press freedom in 2010. However, Afghanistan has more press freedom compared to six neighboring nations, including Pakistan. But the 2010 ranking was lower than those of previous years. Afghanistan also is recognized as one of the most dangerous countries in the world. ***This contrast is driven from the fact*** that official laws protect freedom of speech but there are other forms of restrictions in Afghan society which are more powerful than laws. These restrictions limit and threaten freedom of speech in the country. The government, religious leaders and warlords are major threats to journalists in Afghanistan.

Does "This contrast is driven from the fact" mean "This contrast is based on/derives from the fact"?

Thank you.

this contrast is driven from the fact this contrast is attributable to the fact

Explanation:
The contrast in rankings is attributable to the gap between, on one hand the higher level of press freedom in Afganistan, and the other hand, the higher level of violence in that country (the freedom can't be enforced). For example: This contrast is attributable to the fact that although there is higher level of press freedom in Afganistan there is also a higher level of violence that makes it unenforceable.
