State conflict refers to disputes between countries or sovereign entities, and this phenomenon is often caused by various factors, both internal and external. One of the main causes of conflict is ethnic and religious differences. When a country is made up of various groups with strong identities, tensions can arise, especially if one group feels marginalized or has its rights denied. A clear example of this phenomenon can be seen in conflicts in countries such as Sudan and Myanmar, where ethnic differences are the main trigger for bloody conflicts. Apart from that, economic factors are also an important cause. Inequities in the distribution of wealth and access to resources can create tensions. Countries with large economic disparities between rich and poor often experience social unrest. In this context, corruption and abuse of power by political elites can worsen the situation, creating dissatisfaction among society. Competition for natural resources is also often a triggering factor. Countries rich in resources, such as oil and minerals, are often targets of international or internal conflict. Competition for control of these resources can cause tensions, both between countries and between groups in society. The impact of state conflict on society is very broad and deep. Various aspects of life, from economic, social, to health, can be significantly disrupted. In an economic context, conflict can cause major losses, both directly through damage to infrastructure and indirectly by stopping investment and trade. This often leads to increasing levels of unemployment and poverty. The social impacts of conflict also include an increase in the number of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). When people are forced to leave their homes due to violence, they face inadequate living conditions in refugee camps. This situation worsens the mental and physical health of individuals, often impacting future generations. Public health is also affected, with increased risk of disease and decreased access to health services. In conflict areas, health facilities are often destroyed or become dysfunctional, hampering people’s ability to care for themselves. This creates a vicious circle that worsens people’s living conditions. In overcoming conflict, it is important for the international community to be involved. Diplomacy and mediation can help ease tensions, but long-term solutions require structural reforms that take into account the needs of all groups. By understanding the causes and impacts of state conflicts, we can design more effective approaches to building peace and promoting the well-being of affected communities.
