Belarus Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides this weekly updated dataset tracking political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Belarus. The records are aggregated into country-year and country-month summaries to facilitate longitudinal analysis of conflict patterns.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of 'political violence' event counts over multiple years
• Monitoring 'demonstration' frequency to identify periods of civil unrest
• Statistical modeling of 'civilian-targeting' incidents at the country-month level

Strengths

• Weekly update cycle
• Categorization by event types including civilian-targeting
• Standardized ACLED methodology

Limitations

• Aggregated format lacks granular event-level coordinates and descriptions
• Requires external registration for full raw data access
