Qatar Conflict Events: Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

Aggregated weekly counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Qatar provided by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). The data is organized into country-year and country-month intervals to track conflict trends over time. Updated as recently as March 2026, it serves as a high-level monitoring tool for regional stability.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in 'political violence' counts to identify periods of instability
• Comparing 'civilian-targeting' frequencies across different years in Qatar
• Correlating 'demonstration' event totals with national policy changes or economic shifts

Strengths

• Aggregated by country-year and country-month for longitudinal trend analysis
• Produced by ACLED, a specialized organization for conflict monitoring
• Updated weekly to reflect recent political events

Limitations

• Lacks granular event-level data such as specific actors or precise locations
• Small geographic scope limited strictly to Qatar
• Requires external registration for access to the full underlying event-level dataset
