2. An ethnic conflict or ethnic war is an armed conflict
between ethnic groups. It contrasts with civil war on
one hand (where a single nation or ethnic group is
fighting among itself) and regular warfare on the other,
where two or more sovereign states (which may or
may not be nation states) are in conflict.
3. A refugee is a person who is outside his or her country of
origin or habitual residence because they have suffered (or
fear) persecution on account of race, religion, nationality,
political opinion, or because they are a member of a
persecuted 'social group' or because they are fleeing a war.
Such a person may be called an 'asylum seeker' until
recognized by the state where they make a claim
5. Terrorism is the systematic use of
violence (terror) as a means of

acts which are intended to create fear
(terror); are perpetrated for a religious,
political, or ideological goal;
