Is #Nigeria’s violence primarily driven by religion?
The picture is far more complex.
@bbcworldservice used #ACLED data to show how violence affects both Christian and Muslim communities, while examining the different actors and drivers behind the country’s security crisis.
"Somalia - Approximate Territorial Control, 31 March 2026"

Did #Ethiopia’s elections worsen existing conflicts? More than 200 Orthodox Christian properties were destroyed in Oromia’s Arsi zone on 1 June, while AFNM activity triggered at least 90 clashes with security forces across #Amhara. Latest trends: https://t.co/BQLOhSvXbZ
Peru's next president may win the election, but not the power to reshape the country.
A two-part Congress is returning for the first time in 30 years, but neither candidate has enough backing to make big changes. The result? #Peru could trade its political chaos for a standstill.
ACLED’s Senior Analyst Tiziano Breda spoke to @FRANCE24 about what this could mean for the country’s future.
As the #Ebola outbreak spreads, civilians in #Ituri face worsening militant violence and disruptions to the humanitarian response. Islamic State Central Africa Province has carried out its deadliest campaign targeting civilians there since May 2022. 🔗https://t.co/2jle3iqAzU
Organized crime violence escalated sharply in #Honduras in May, driving a more than 60% rise in fatalities. A massacre in Trujillo killed 20 farmers, making May 2026 the deadliest month in Colón department since 2018. Full overview: https://t.co/yHsM0yzAIX
#Sudan’s conflict has transitioned heavily to the skies.
With the rainy season peaking in August, #ACLED analysis projects intensified air campaigns ahead of ground offensives. This shift to #drone warfare ensures violence persists far beyond traditional frontlines.
