Ethnic tensions refer to conflicts or disagreements that arise between different ethnic groups. These tensions can stem from various factors, including competition for resources, historical grievances, or cultural differences. When groups feel threatened or marginalized, it can lead to misunderstandings and hostility, sometimes resulting in violence or discrimination. Such tensions can be observed in many parts of the world, often influenced by political, social, and economic conditions. For example, in regions like the Balkans or Rwanda, ethnic tensions have led to significant conflicts and humanitarian crises. Addressing these issues requires dialogue, understanding, and efforts to promote inclusivity.
