Estonia: Political Violence and Demonstration Counts by Month and Year

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Estonia. This dataset summarizes conflict activity into country-year and country-month records as of March 2026. It serves as a high-level monitoring tool for civil unrest and political instability within the country.

Use Cases

• Analyzing longitudinal trends in 'demonstration events' across different years
• Correlating 'civilian-targeting' counts with national political shifts
• Forecasting future 'political violence' levels using country-month time-series data

Strengths

• Expert-annotated by ACLED researchers
• Weekly update frequency
• Categorizes events into distinct types like civilian-targeting

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents spatial analysis below the country level
• Requires external registration for full event details
• Geographically limited to Estonia
