Africa: Military Conflicts At Historic High As U.S. Signals Retreat From World Stage
- In 2024, the globe saw a record-breaking surge in state-based armed conflicts, with 61 separate disputes occurring across 36 nations—the most in over 70 years.
- This surge follows a trend identified by the Peace Research Institute Oslo's report, based on Uppsala Conflict Data Program data, showing escalating violence since 2023.
- In 2024, Africa experienced the highest concentration of state-based conflicts worldwide, with 28 such conflicts recorded—almost double the figure from ten years prior—largely fueled by increased militant activity including the expansion of groups like JNIM.
- Battle-Related deaths held steady at about 129,000 in 2024, marking the fourth deadliest year since 1989, with major tolls from Ukraine's invasion and the war in Gaza.
- Siri Aas Rustad, PRIO's lead author, cautioned that withdrawing from global involvement amid increasing worldwide violence and security challenges would be a serious error.
