Insurgent Groups

Insurgent groups areorganized collectives that challenge established governments or authorities, often through clandestine or irregular military actions. They may oppose political systems, seek autonomy, or aim to change social or economic conditions. Unlike formal armies, insurgents typically operate covertly, using tactics like guerrilla warfare, sabotage, and propaganda to gain support and weaken their opponents. Their motives and methods vary widely, and they often emerge from complex social, political, or ideological grievances. Insurgent activities can lead to prolonged conflicts, instability, and significant impacts on affected communities and nations.
