emotions and irritation conducts, where regional security is troubled by conflicts between
traditional and modern forces, there are tensions between traditional way of thinking and modern
way of thinking for the approach of ideas. There are majorly two segments of conflicts been
played one where conflicts between traditional and more modern values, between extremism and
moderation and between military control and civilian governance. On the other hand conflicts
