Analysis: More than 238,000 people died in global conflict last year, according to a new study, marking a 96 percent increase year over year.
What’s particularly worrying about this latest figure, however, is the trend line.
This Swedish-based conflict data-tracking program has data going back decades, which it also sub-categorizes to reveal further details. The number of conflict deaths spiked to almost 800,000 in 1994 as a result of the Rwandan genocide, for example, which is labeled as one-sided violence. But what surged last year was state-based violence, according to the UCDP data, such as that seen in both Ethiopia and Ukraine.
