👉 Unrest in the context of Ghetto riots (1964–1969)
The term ghetto riots, also termed ghetto rebellions, race riots, or negro riots refers to a period of widespread urban unrest and riots across the United States in the mid-to-late 1960s, largely fueled by racial tensions and frustrations with ongoing discrimination, even after the passage of major Civil Rights legislation; highlighting the issues of racial inequality in Northern cities that were often overlooked in the earlier focus on the Southern states. Rioters often acted collectively, destroying property they viewed as being owned by those exploiting them, while intervening police officers were often viewed by participants as agents of a racist system
The six days of unrest during the Harlem riot of 1964 is typically viewed as the first of the riots, which were all uncoordinated with each other, unplanned, and most often in cities during the summer months. The pattern caused over 150 separate incidents of violence and unrest over the "long, hot summer of 1967" (the most destructive riots taking place in Detroit and Newark), came to a climax during the national wave of King assassination riots in over 100 American cities in 1968, and relented in 1969.

Unrest in the context of 1980 Upper Voltan coup d'état
The 1980 Upper Voltan coup d'état took place on 25 November 1980 in the Republic of Upper Volta (today Burkina Faso). Following a long period of drought, famine, popular unrest and labour strikes, Colonel Saye Zerbo overthrew President Sangoulé Lamizana, another military leader. Zerbo himself would be overthrown only two years later.

A migrant crisis occurs when large numbers of immigrants—including refugees, asylum seekers, or displaced persons—move into a destination country, often overwhelming its systems and communities. These movements are typically triggered by unrest, economic hardship, or political instability in the migrants' countries of origin. The sudden influx of people often strains public services, infrastructure, and social cohesion, placing undue pressure on citizens and local governments. These situations can also raise humanitarian concerns, as existing facilities are rarely equipped to handle large numbers effectively. Notable examples include the European migrant crisis, the English Channel migrant crossings, and post-World War II displacements.
A refugee crisis refers to a movement of "large" groups of displaced people, and may or may not involve a migrant crisis. Compared to refugee crisis (refugee is a refugee), migrant crises also have a separate or distinguish between the "deserving" refugee from the "undeserving" migrant and play into fear of cultural, religious, and ethnic difference in the midst of increasing intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations and lacking in predictability, job security, material or psychological welfare for many in Europe (such in closure of Green Borders).
