![]() ![]() L’an dernier, là où les conflits ont reculé, des cessez-le-feu précaires ont souvent dissimulé un risque croissant d’escalade, comme on l’observe actuellement au Yémen et en Ukraine. ![]() Les civils en ont été les principales victimes, du fait d’une augmentation des violences dirigées contre eux et du nombre de morts au sein de leur population. Si le niveau général de violence politique est resté stable, sa létalité, elle, a atteint de nouveaux sommets. Rares sont les conflits qui ont pris fin, et nombreux sont ceux qui se sont aggravés en 2021. Our 2021 annual report reviews the past 12 months of data on political violence and demonstration activity around the world. Over the course of 2021 and early 2022, ACLED expanded to Canada, Oceania, Antarctica, and all remaining small states and territories, bringing the dataset to full global coverage. Authorities responded violently in places like Myanmar and Colombia, leading to a spike in demonstrator fatalities.Īs the world struggles to come to grips with a third year of the pandemic - as well as the potentially devastating consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - global insecurity is likely to only deepen and evolve throughout 2022 ( for more, see ACLED’s special report on 10 additional conflicts worry about). Where long wars ended, such as in Afghanistan, new risks have emerged for civilians.Īgainst this backdrop, social unrest continued to build during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a rise in demonstrations all around the world from rallies against public health restrictions to mass pro-democracy protest movements. Where conflict declined last year, fragile ceasefires often obscured the growing risk of escalation - now seen in Yemen and Ukraine. Civilians bore the brunt, with increases in both violence targeting civilians and civilian fatalities. Overall levels of political violence remained steady, while its lethality surged to new heights. Few conflicts ended in 2021, and many intensified. ![]()
