Abstract EN

This study aimed to find out the impact of electronic media in fueling ethnic crises and conflicts in Sudan (West Kordofan State - Dar Hamar region as a model).

And participated in the study (69) respondents from a simple random sample.

The study showed that most of the ethnic conflicts in West Kordofan State were exacerbated by the excessive and disruptive circulation of information by the electronic media.

This is done by providing citizens with false, misleading, and unrealistic information about events.

And that (WhatsApp and Facebook) is one of the most widely used social media in fueling ethnic conflicts and igniting feelings of resentment and hatred among local communities.

In addition, rumors, incitement, and transmission of a fabricated image are among the most common methods used by social media to fuel ethnic conflicts in Sudan.

In addition to the general framework of the problem, the study included two variables: (electronic media and ethnic conflicts).

At the end of the paper, the researchers came up with several recommendations, the most important of which are.

The necessity of increasing cultural awareness and dealing professionally with the news reported by the electronic media.

In addition to the need to activate regulations and laws to control what is published in the electronic media of fabricated news and images, in order to stave off stirring up sedition and fueling ethnic conflicts.
