Militant group

A militant group is an organization that uses armed force, violence, or intimidation to promote a political, social, or ideological agenda. These groups often reject peaceful methods and believe that violence is necessary to achieve their objectives, which can include independence, control of territory, or the implementation of specific beliefs. Some militant groups may operate illegally and be considered terrorist organizations by governments, while others claim to be fighting for self-determination or social justice. Their actions typically cause conflict, insecurity, and harm to civilians and are usually subject to legal and security responses.
