Cameroon Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstration Event Counts

ACLED provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Cameroon. The records are organized by country-year and country-month intervals to facilitate longitudinal trend analysis of conflict patterns. This data is maintained by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in political violence counts to identify peak conflict periods in Cameroon
• Comparing civilian-targeting event frequencies across different years to assess humanitarian impact
• Correlating monthly demonstration event totals with national political or economic milestones

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency
• ACLED expert-verified event categories
• Standardized country-month and country-year aggregation

Limitations

• Aggregated format obscures specific incident locations
• Lacks qualitative event descriptions found in the full ACLED database
