Ethiopia has faced numerous conflicts, including ethnic tensions, political unrest, and border disputes. These conflicts have been fueled by factors such as historical grievances, competition for resources, and power struggles among different groups.
The impacts of these conflicts have been devastating, leading to displacement of populations, loss of lives, destruction of infrastructure, and economic instability. The conflicts have also hindered development efforts and exacerbated poverty and food insecurity in the country.
As a result of these conflicts, many Ethiopians have experienced human insecurity, including lack of access to basic services, fear of violence, and uncertainty about the future. The ongoing conflicts have also strained social cohesion and trust among different ethnic groups, further exacerbating tensions and insecurity in the country.

- Droughts and food crises: Recurring droughts and climate change have severely impacted Ethiopia's food security, exacerbating social and economic inequalities and fostering conflict.
- Political repression: Government crackdowns on dissent and human rights violations have fueled unrest and resistance from opposition groups.
Impacts:
- Loss of life and displacement: Conflict and violence have resulted in numerous casualties and the displacement of millions of people, creating humanitarian crises.
