Intergroup Relations: Challenges
 
Any sustainable peace will have to address the underlying causes of the increased ethnic and religious violence. Observers consider that the challenges are many and include addressing economic disparities and stabilizing the political situation. Enlisting the military to assist in solving ethnic hostilities is another important factor.

More research is needed to understand fully the ultimate causes of tension in various regions in order to appropriately address the conflicts.
