The Serbian military attempted to expel the ethnic-Albanian Kosovars. This ultimately failed as a result of NATO-led intervention. Currently, there are Kosovar extremists who wish to expel the Serb minority in a now-independent Kosovo, but they have not been able to do this.
Southern Africa became a battleground for rival groups due to a combination of colonialism, economic exploitation, and ethnic tensions. European powers, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, imposed artificial borders and systems that often disregarded existing social and ethnic divisions. This led to conflicts over land, resources, and political power among indigenous groups, colonial authorities, and emerging nationalist movements. Additionally, the Cold War dynamics further fueled these rivalries as external powers backed different factions to promote their geopolitical interests.
There goes the leader of our rival gang. We must outwork our rival gang.
Grouping several rival ethnic groups into one political unit can lead to significant friction upon gaining independence due to historical grievances, competition for resources, and differing national identities. These groups may struggle for political power, leading to tensions and conflict as they vie for representation and control. Additionally, the lack of a unifying national identity can exacerbate divisions, causing instability and undermining efforts to build a cohesive state. Ultimately, unresolved animosities may erupt into violence or civil unrest as each group seeks to assert its interests and autonomy.

Since there are literally thousands of ethnic groups in Africa it would be impossible to list them all as well as their rivalries. However, a few well know examples would be: Zulu and Xhosa clans in South Africa (during the early 1800's), or the Hutu and Tutsi tribes in Rwanda (Rwandan genocide of the mid 1990's). It should be noted that "tribal conflicts" don't always follow political parties or patterns, there are, however examples where large tribal groups back opposing parties which then escalates the tribal conflict to a political level as well. An example of this is the Shona/ Ndebele tribal/ political conflict in Zimbabwe (formally Rhodesia).
This policy is called ethnic cleansing, which involves the forced removal or displacement of a particular ethnic group from a certain geographic area through violent or discriminatory means. It is considered a human rights violation and is often associated with conflicts and mass atrocities.
The violence in South Sudan stems from a complex mix of political, ethnic, and economic factors. After gaining independence in 2011, power struggles between rival factions, particularly between President Salva Kiir and former Vice President Riek Machar, have fueled conflict. Ethnic tensions, primarily between the Dinka and Nuer groups, exacerbate the situation, leading to widespread violence and atrocities. Additionally, competition for resources, such as land and water, further intensifies the conflict.
When the narrator first returns to the school in "The Catcher in the Rye," everyone is at a football game against their rival school. The game is taking place at Pencey Prep, where the narrator had just been expelled from.
Creating tension among rival groups was a strategic approach used by European powers during the colonial era to maintain control over territories and resources. By fostering animosity between local factions, colonial authorities could weaken potential resistance and divert attention from their own exploitative practices. This "divide and conquer" strategy not only facilitated easier governance but also ensured that rival groups would be less likely to unite against colonial rule, thereby prolonging European dominance over the regions.
