Ethnic Armed Groups

Ethnic armed groups are organizations formed by communities belonging to specific ethnic groups seeking greater autonomy, protection, or independence from the central government. They often arise from historical grievances, cultural differences, or perceived neglect, and may engage in armed conflict to achieve their goals. These groups vary in size and influence and can be involved in peace negotiations or ongoing hostilities, impacting regional stability and development. Their existence reflects complex ethnic, political, and historical dynamics within a country, influencing national policies and peace processes.
