A quick overview

This visualization delves into the tragic reality of politically driven fatalities worldwide, leveraging data from the ACLED data source to illuminate the geographic distribution, key trends, and potential causes of this global tragedy. By analyzing news coverage, event distribution, and specific causes of death, including air strikes, armed clashes, and territorial disputes, we aim to understand the disproportionate impact of political violence on certain regions and inform effective interventions and peacebuilding initiatives. Ultimately, this data-driven exploration seeks to shed light on the human cost of political instability and contribute to saving lives.
