Micronesia Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence Data

Micronesia - Conflict Events provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events organized by country-year and country-month. Produced by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), the data is delivered in XLSX format and was last updated in March 2026. It serves as a statistical summary of instability and civil unrest within the region.

Strengths

• Expert-curated data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED)
