The combination of extremely high arms sales and threats of civil war in a deeply divided nation, causes the alarm bells to flash red.
In a 30-page report, an expert group at the International Crisis Group (ICG) warns that the United States is now likely to face what they define as an “unknown danger” in the coming days and weeks.
The report points out that the country is in a dangerous political landscape, and concludes that America is polarized in a bitter and irreconcilable way. Therefore, they believe that the next few days will be absolutely crucial for the future of the United States.
“Although the Americans have become accustomed to a certain degree of bitterness during these four years, they have not met the realistic prospects that the incumbent president can reject the election result or that armed unrest may arise,” »Writes ICG in its report.
Norway supports ICG: Monitors 60 conflicts globally
Tankesmia International Crisis Group was founded in 1995, is headquartered in Brussels and has offices in 20 countries. About 130 permanent employees monitor over 60 conflict areas worldwide.
The expert group works to prevent and resolve deadly conflicts around the world.
Norway is among the nations that support ICG financially and politically. Labor leader Jonas Gahr Støre and former Statoil chief Helge Lund have been Norway’s members of the board. The group is heavily composed of, among others, heads of state and senior representatives from the UN and NATO.
Asks the world to wait to recognize the winner
The report warns heads of state not to recognize an election winner until the official election result is ready.
The same encouragement is given to both traditional media and social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Trump has announced that he will already declare victory on election night.
The new warnings give US President Donald Trump considerable responsibility for the high level of tension, as well as the fact that the political atmosphere is considered poisoned and highly polarized.
The ICG points to several factors that could trigger violence on election day, and which have the potential to escalate the level of conflict and set fire to the already violent and entrenched contradictions between supporters and opponents of Trump.

Warns against Trump’s “toxic rhetoric”
“Trump’s toxic rhetoric and willingness to use the courts to advance his personal interests have no precedent in modern American history», The report states.
It is especially the spread of disinformation and hate speech on social media, controversies surrounding the intense debate on racial justice and the Black Matters movement, the emergence of armed groups and the possibility of a close or controversial presidential election, which are at the heart of warnings that the United States now faces threats which is unparalleled in modern American history.
The risk that radicalized Trump supporters will show up outside the polling station and disrupt the election process has been used by many as one of the explanations for the unusually high percentage of advance votes.
In addition, skepticism has been expressed about whether postal votes will be able to arrive on time, and thus not be taken into account during the counting of votes.
