Ethnic cleansing is a term used to describe the forced removal of a group of people from their homeland, typically because of their ethnic or national origin.

The practice is often carried out by governments in an attempt to cleanse the population of a particular group and make the area more homogeneous. Ethnic cleansing has occurred throughout history, most notably during World War II when the Nazis conducted a campaign of extermination against the Jews. The term has also been used in recent years to describe the persecution of minorities in places such as Rwanda, Bosnia, and Kosovo.

Ethnic cleansing is a terrible thing, and it should never be allowed to happen.
