English term

invoke their ethnic group once under siege

English to French Social Sciences General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters ethnicity and politics
Ethnicity under political parties:
The final three years show that ethnicity still remains a key stumbling block to harmonizing the relationship between the State and society. Hiding behind ethnic identity is a cabal of ethnic chauvinists who **invoke their ethnic group once under siege**.
Hence, ethnicity is considered an issue that politicians misuse for their own self-aggrandizement. Under the National Alliance regime, this was revealed with the Anglo-Leasing Scandal and other mega scandals that undermine the regime. Figure 2 shows expert opinion on the phenomenon of ethnicity in the political engineering of the country.

Le sens est quelque peu altéré donc je pense qu'il faut vérifier le reste du contenu. Toutefois à mon avis il s'agit bien là du message que l'auteur veut faire passer.
