Venezuela Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

Aggregated weekly counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Venezuela are provided by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). The data is organized by country-year and country-month intervals and is current through March 2026. It serves as a high-level summary of conflict trends rather than a granular incident log.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in political violence counts across Venezuela
• Correlating monthly demonstration frequencies with national economic or social indicators
• Monitoring the volume of civilian-targeting events over multi-year periods

Strengths

• Produced by ACLED, a specialized authority in conflict event monitoring
• Weekly update frequency ensures current trend monitoring
• Categorizes events into three distinct types: political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents sub-national geospatial analysis
• Full event-level details are gated behind a separate registration on the ACLED website
• Lack of specific actor or weapon data in this summary version
