Insurgency

Insurgency refers to a movement by a group of people, often within a country, to overthrow an established government or authority. This is typically achieved through guerrilla warfare, sabotage, and political tactics rather than conventional military means. Insurgents may seek greater autonomy, political recognition, or changes in social, economic, or political structures. Insurgencies commonly arise in regions experiencing discontent, discrimination, or oppression, and they can lead to prolonged conflicts that challenge stability and peace in affected areas. Understanding insurgency involves recognizing both its causes and its impacts on communities and nations.
