ABSTRACTWars and conflicts have always been a human habit throughout civilization, from the very beginning of human creation on Earth, warfare has always been a determinant of human survival and especially the standing or destruction of civilizations existing in the world. Of the many conflicts that exist, the conflict is a revolt that attracts attention, because of the conflict between the ruling government against armed parties who are not satisfied with the relevant government policy. From here comes the term "belligerent", which means the parties to the dispute or the rebels. At first, belligerent created from the dissatisfaction of the elements of the people against the government in a country. The ruling government is unable to accommodate the will and interests of these dissatisfied elements of the people, so that they rebel in order to realize their neglected aspirations.
