Human Power Crisis in State Conflict

The human power crisis in state conflicts is a complex and potentially devastating phenomenon, the impact of which is felt not only by the individuals involved but also by society as a whole. In this context, human power refers to individuals who contribute to various sectors, including political, economic and social. When conflict occurs, many of them may lose their lives, be forced to flee, or experience deep psychological trauma. One of the main causes of the human resource crisis in state conflicts is political instability. In countries ravaged by war, ideological clashes, or power struggles, government structures often disintegrate. As a result, the education system and human resources are affected. Many schools and universities have closed, resulting in the loss of young people who could potentially replace those who are gone. The economic crisis that emerged as a result of the conflict also had a significant impact. Many companies closed their businesses, causing high unemployment rates. As economic uncertainty persists, many people leave their jobs to seek refuge, both at home and abroad. This adds to the problem of migration, where skilled and educated individuals choose to seek a better life in other countries. This migration process often results in a ‘brain drain’, where the country of origin loses the skilled workforce needed to rebuild its economy after conflict. The psychological impact of conflict cannot be ignored either. Many individuals experience PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) due to trauma experienced during combat. This not only lowers individual productivity, but also affects the workforce as a whole. Handling mental health problems in conflict countries is often inadequate, because health facilities are affected by the unstable situation. Self-abortion, gender-based violence and human rights violations often increase in conflict situations, adding to uncertainty and misery, especially among vulnerable groups such as women and children. According to various reports, the rate of violence against women has increased sharply in conflict areas, causing more women to face crises in various aspects of their lives. In facing this human resource crisis, the role of international organizations is very important. They seek to provide humanitarian assistance, including psychological support and educational programs for children affected by conflict. Apart from that, cooperation between neighboring countries in accommodating refugees is also key to reducing the negative impacts of conflict. The ability to recover and rebuild communities after conflict depends critically on the restoration of human power. Investments in education, skills training and mental health are crucial steps to create stability. Indonesia, as a country with a history of conflict, can play an active role in sharing experiences in social and economic reconstruction. Community resilience is clearly a determining factor in preventing and overcoming the human resource crisis. Through collaboration, dialogue, and continued efforts to maintain peace, countries can minimize the impact of conflict. In the end, forming policies that are inclusive and focused on recovery and human resource development are challenges that must be faced for countries emerging from conflict.
