ethno-religious conflict

Ethno-religious conflict occurs when groups defined by their ethnicity and religion have disagreements or tensions, often over resources, political power, or cultural recognition. These conflicts can arise from historical grievances, social inequalities, or perceived threats to identity. Such disputes may lead to violence, discrimination, or attempts to establish dominance, often fueled by deep-rooted feelings of mistrust or fear. Addressing ethno-religious conflicts requires understanding the underlying identities and grievances, fostering dialogue, and promoting inclusive policies to ensure peaceful coexistence.
