Political Unrest

Political unrest refers to a situation characterized by widespread dissatisfaction and discontent among citizens towards the government or political authorities. This state of agitation may manifest through protests, strikes, riots, or other forms of resistance, often calling for political change, reform, or the overthrow of existing leadership. Causes of political unrest are diverse and can include economic hardship, social inequality, political repression, corruption, or discrimination. It reflects a breakdown in the normal functioning of political institutions and can lead to significant challenges for governance and stability in a society. Political unrest can also influence public opinion, impact policy making, and occasionally escalate into violence or civil conflict, depending on the response of authorities and the resilience of the movement.
