Burundi Conflict Events: Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Burundi. The data is organized into country-year and country-month summaries to track conflict trends over time. This dataset was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in political violence counts across different years in Burundi
• Comparing the monthly frequency of civilian-targeting events against demonstration events
• Statistical modeling of conflict intensity based on aggregated monthly event totals

Strengths

• Sourced from ACLED, a specialized organization for conflict monitoring
• Weekly update frequency ensures current temporal coverage
• Distinguishes between three specific event types: political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents granular analysis of specific incident locations or actors
• Full event-level details are restricted and require external registration on the ACLED website
• Geographic scope is limited strictly to Burundi
