Militant organizations are groups that use violence or armed conflict to achieve political, social, or ideological goals. These groups often operate outside of traditional political systems and may engage in activities such as guerrilla warfare, terrorism, or insurgency. Their motivations can vary widely, including nationalism, religious beliefs, or anti-government sentiments. Many militant organizations are characterized by their structured leadership and membership, often resembling military hierarchies. They may receive support from sympathizers or external entities and can be involved in regional or global conflicts. Examples of such organizations include Hezbollah, ISIS, and the Taliban.
