We examine a dataset from ACLED(Armed Conflict Location and Event Project).The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project is designed for disaggregated conflict analysis and crisis mapping. This dataset codes the dates and locations of all reported political violence and protest events in dozens of developing countries in Africa. Political violence and protest includes events that occur within civil wars and periods of instability, public protest and regime breakdown. The project covers all African countries from 1997 to the present.

A detailed report EDA of African Conflicts has the complete Data Visualization with Maps.

Our team is very pleased to announce the second Kernels award! Kaggler Ambarish’s R notebook kernel “Exploratory Data Analysis of African Conflict with Leaflet” is an impressive combination of insight-sharing and gorgeous interactive maps. He uses data from the remarkable Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project dataset published on Kaggle which covers political violence and protest events from all African countries from 1997 to today.

Congratulations, Ambarish!
