The Conflict Tracker provides an overview of incidents and fatalities in Africa.
Charts and visuals make use of the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). ACLED tracks conflicts by their specific dates, locations, group(s) involved, fatalities and type of event, as reported by the media. Charts and visuals for 2015 are updated monthly.
Africa’s Conflict Events & Fatalities by Location and Type
Conflict levels were high in the early 1990s following the end of the Cold War. Reported incidents and fatalities in Africa were at a low in the mid-2000s, but have risen since 2012, largely due to escalations in Egypt, CAR, DRC, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan and Somalia.
