Ethnic Civil Wars

Ethnic civil wars are conflicts within a country where different ethnic groups fight for power, rights, or independence. These wars often arise from historical grievances, discrimination, or competition for resources. Ethnic identities can become sources of loyalty and division, leading to violence as groups seek to assert themselves. Such conflicts can result in significant loss of life, displacement of populations, and long-term societal trauma. The impact often extends beyond borders, affecting regional stability and international relations, complicating efforts for peace and reconciliation. Understanding these wars requires recognizing the complex interplay of identity, politics, and history.
