Ethnic violence was modeled as a contagious spread of infectious disease. A mathematical
model consisting of a system of nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations using a modeling
technique where the total population is divided into Susceptible, Aggressive and Violent (SAV)
was developed and used to describe the spread of ethnic violence. We examined the stability of
the model at the equilibrium state and how the aggressive can be eradicated without necessarily
affecting the susceptible population. The analysis shows that the stability of the model depends
on increasing the susceptible population by checking the infective factors
