Namibia Conflict Events: Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

Aggregated weekly data on political violence, civilian targeting, and demonstrations in Namibia, produced by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). The dataset provides counts of conflict events organized by country-year and country-month intervals. It serves as a high-level summary of conflict trends within the country.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in civilian-targeting events using country-month aggregates
• Comparing annual totals of political violence across different years
• Correlating demonstration frequency with national-level socio-political changes

Strengths

• Data sourced from ACLED, a specialized conflict monitoring organization
• Weekly update frequency ensures temporal relevance
• Categorizes events into distinct types including civilian-targeting and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents spatial analysis below the national level
• Full event-level data requires external registration and API access
