Esp. considering how they've always got someone to blame for the issues that they cause. It's an ancient playbook

1. Identity a problem

2. Blame $group of people for the issue and rally citizens to you

3. Oust previous administration/rulers with rallied citizens

And then to stay in power

1. Create or identity a problem

2. Blame $group of people for the problem

3. Rally citizens to ostracize the new group of ppl

4. Back to 1

The issues never need to be resolved, as long as the citizens blame someone and feel empowered to lash out against someone (the people getting blamed).
