Niue Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregates of Political Violence and Demonstrations

Weekly counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Niue are aggregated by month and year. Produced by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), the records track reported incidents through March 2026. The data is provided in XLSX format for longitudinal analysis of regional stability.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in 'political violence' counts to identify periods of instability
• Comparing 'civilian-targeting' event frequencies against 'demonstration' totals
• Forecasting regional security risks using country-month aggregate totals

Strengths

• Standardized ACLED event categorization
• Weekly update frequency
• Specific geographic focus on Niue

Limitations

• Aggregated format obscures individual incident details
• Small sample size due to Niue's low historical conflict volume
• Full event-level data requires external ACLED registration
