  • “Violence in the world is at an all-time high since the end of the Cold War,” said Siri Aas Rustad, PRIO researcher and the main author of the report covering trends during the period 1946-2023.
  • “The figures suggest that the conflict landscape has become increasingly complex, with more conflict actors operating within the same country,” she explained.
  • According to PRIO, the increase in the number of conflicts can be partially attributed to the Islamic State spreading across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and the involvement of a growing number of non-state actors such as the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Group to Support Islam and Muslims (JNIM).
  • While the number of combat deaths decreased last year, the accumulated number for the past three years is the highest for a three-year period in 30 years.
  • A total of 28 armed conflicts were registered in Africa, followed by Asia with 17, the Middle East with 10, Europe with three and the Americas with one.
