Within a person: being torn between two opposing thoughts or possible courses of action. For example:

I am angry with my brother for drinking too much but I also feel sorry for him because his wife has left him.

I don't know whether to go to my daughter's wedding or to my dying father's hospital bed - it's too late to postpone the wedding, and I can't be in two places at once.

Within a country: undergoing conflict between factions from the same country (or city, or area), as opposed to conflict between one country and another.
