Niger Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Niger. The data is organized into country-year and country-month summaries to track conflict trends over time. These records are updated weekly to reflect the most recent reported incidents.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of political violence over time using country-month aggregations
• Monitoring the frequency of civilian-targeting incidents in Niger
• Comparing annual demonstration counts using country-year summaries

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency
• Expert-categorized event types including civilian-targeting
• Standardized ACLED methodology for conflict monitoring

Limitations
