Hi CompassionGiver
Sorry for not addressing the questions.
1) What can we do to help solve the conflict?
I think compassion is the answer to solve the conflict. Try to understand the facts i.e. this is about land, differences, a rape and basically people's emotions. People who are experiencing dukkha in their neighbourhood, with risks to their lives and possessions.
We can send money, food or go there personally if you can assure it would help effectively. Look for charities too.
We can avoid the hype and propaganda, regarding our last posts on how media like to 'group' and 'generalise'. People need to hear the news as hype then look for the facts beyond it, imho.
2) How Buddhism can be engaged to solve human problems like this?
Directly there, if there are monasteries to be protected or that can provide shelter and aid, then we could contact them, send them money and replies or support.
Generally, we can practice and try to reduce our own suffering then look to help others with compassion. We can circulate information, speak openly about Buddhism to our family and friends. Start a website. Write a book. Share the Dhamma with the caveat that it is given as we humbly understand it.
