Political violence has profound implications on civil society, often leading to social fragmentation and weakened community ties. Such violence can result from state repression, armed conflict, or political terrorism, creating an environment of fear that discourages civic participation. It undermines trust in institutions and can lead to further polarization among communities. The impact can extend to the erosion of essential socio-economic structures, as resources are diverted from development to security measures. In the long term, political violence can stifle democracy and contribute to a cycle of instability, hampering efforts for peaceful resolution and reconciliation.
