Vietnam Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides this weekly updated dataset tracking political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Vietnam. The data is aggregated at country-year and country-month levels to monitor conflict trends through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Time-series analysis of 'political violence' trends in Vietnam
• Year-over-year comparison of 'civilian-targeting' event frequency
• Tracking 'demonstration' counts to identify periods of civil unrest

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency
• Three distinct event categories: political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstrations
• Expert-curated data from ACLED

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents spatial or precise temporal analysis
• Full event-level data is gated behind external registration
• Limited to country-level summaries rather than sub-national data
