military insurgency

A military insurgency is an organized effort by a group of people to challenge or overthrow an established government or authority using irregular tactics. Unlike regular armies, insurgents often operate covertly, employing guerrilla warfare, sabotage, and psychological tactics to weaken the state's control and gain support or territory. These groups typically aim to influence political change or express grievances, often blending into civilian populations. Insurgencies can be driven by political, ideological, religious, or social motives, making them complex conflicts that require multifaceted responses from governments and international actors.
