Kyrgyzstan: Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstration Counts

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) maintains this weekly updated dataset of political violence and demonstration events in Kyrgyzstan. Data is provided in aggregated XLSX files organized by country-year and country-month intervals. It tracks specific event categories including civilian targeting and general political violence.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in political violence counts across different years
• Monitoring the frequency of civilian-targeting events per month
• Comparing demonstration event totals to historical averages in Kyrgyzstan

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency ensures data reflects recent developments
• Standardized categorization of events into political violence and demonstrations
• Aggregated by country-year and country-month for longitudinal study

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents analysis of specific incident locations or coordinates
• Full event-level details are gated behind external registration on the ACLED website
• Lack of granular actor information in the summary files
