Ethnic conflicts can severely affect political stability by challenging national cohesion and leading to violence or unrest. Such conflicts often stem from historical grievances, competition for resources, or unequal political representation. These divisions can hinder effective governance and foster mistrust among different communities. In regions with significant ethnic tensions, the political landscape may become fragmented, complicating coalition-building and policymaking. Therefore, addressing underlying ethnic issues through dialogue, reconciliation, and inclusive governance is essential to fostering lasting political stability.
