Ethnopolitical Conflict

Ethnopolitical conflict occurs when groups defined by ethnicity, language, religion, or culture compete for power, resources, or recognition within a society. These conflicts often stem from historical grievances, discrimination, or perceptions of injustice, leading to tensions or violence. They can manifest as political disagreements, protests, or armed conflicts. Addressing ethnopolitical conflicts requires understanding the underlying identities and grievances, promoting inclusive governance, protecting minority rights, and encouraging dialogue to build mutual trust and peace.
