Uzbekistan: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstration Events

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) produces this dataset of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration event counts in Uzbekistan. Data is provided as weekly aggregates organized by country-year and country-month intervals. It serves as a high-level monitoring tool for regional stability and conflict trends.

Use Cases

• Tracking 'political violence' event totals over time to identify seasonal or annual conflict patterns
• Monitoring 'civilian-targeting' frequencies to evaluate changes in the security environment for non-combatants
• Using 'demonstration' event counts to quantify the scale of public unrest across different months

Strengths

• Sourced from ACLED, a specialized conflict monitoring organization
• Weekly update frequency provides near real-time monitoring capabilities
• Categorizes events into distinct types like civilian-targeting and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents micro-level geospatial or actor-specific analysis
• Full event-level data is gated behind external registration on the ACLED website
• Specific column headers are not defined in the source metadata
