conflict. Of these 233 groups, only 27, or about 12 percent have no record of political
organisation, protest, rebellion or other form of intercommunal conflict since 1945. Gurr
also pointed out that, out of 127 countries in the world that he examined, 75 percent had
at least one, and many had more, highly politicised minorities. As such ethnic tensions
