Too many politicians are still attracted to war, not peace, We The People need our taxes to pay for other crucial programs.

There are 32 countries currently in conflict, and the types of conflict vary widely. While the severity and duration of these conflicts differ, they all have significant impacts on the affected populations and can result in a high number of casualties as well as humanitarian crises.

One of the most common types of conflict currently taking place is a terrorist insurgency. This type of conflict often involves non-state actors, such as extremist groups, who engage in violent activities to achieve their political goals. Countries such as Algeria, Burkina Faso, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, and Yemen are all currently experiencing some form of terrorist insurgency.

Civil wars are also prevalent around the world. These conflicts arise from various factors, including political, economic, and social issues, and often involve different factions within a country fighting against each other. Countries such as Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Libya, Mali, Somalia, South Sudan, and Syria are all currently experiencing civil wars, resulting in significant casualties and displacement.

Drug wars are another form of conflict that can result in significant violence and unrest. Countries such as Colombia and Mexico are currently experiencing drug wars, which are characterized by violence and organized crime associated with drug trafficking and distribution.

Finally, ethnic violence is a form of conflict that arises from tensions between different ethnic groups within a country. South Sudan is currently experiencing ethnic violence, which has resulted in significant casualties and displacement.
