Heat map showing the number of fatalities due to conflict events in Africa from 1997 to present. Areas on map are tainted on the basis of the interpolated number of fatalities associated to each event and the number of events that occurred in a given area, which radius changes with zoom.

source_abstract The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) is a disaggregated conflict collection, analysis and crisis mapping project. ACLED collects the dates, actors, types of violence, locations, and fatalities of all reported political violence and protest events across Africa, South Asia, South East Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. Political violence and protest includes events that occur within civil wars and periods of instability, public protest and regime breakdown. ACLED’s aim is to capture the forms, actors, dates and locations of political violence and protest as it occurs across states. The ACLED team conducts analysis to describe, explore and test conflict scenarios, and makes both data and analysis open to freely use by the public. This dataset shows conflict events in Africa from 1997 to present. More information available on: https://www.acleddata.com/
