This is simply not correct, sorry. The problem in Bosnia, Rwanda,
Burundi, Azerbajan, Los Angeles and many other places is that a
relatively affluent minority rules. As in the French and Russian
revolutions, a point comes when the majority revolts and sets about
killing off the minority. This is political economics, not tribalism.
The tribal differences are historic and lie behind the minority rule
but are not the cause of the revolt.
