Haiti Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

Aggregated weekly counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Haiti, provided by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). The data is organized by country-year and country-month intervals to track conflict trends over time. This dataset serves as a high-level summary of instability metrics updated as recently as March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in 'civilian-targeting' events to identify periods of increased risk
• Comparing 'political violence' counts across different years to assess national stability
• Correlating 'demonstration' frequency with external socio-economic or political triggers

Strengths

• Sourced from ACLED, a specialized conflict monitoring organization
• Weekly update frequency ensures current situational awareness
• Categorizes events into specific types including civilian-targeting and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents geospatial mapping of specific incidents
• Full event-level data requires external registration and API access
• Unknown total record count in the summary file
