Dataset on twenty years of civil conflicts in Nigeria

This dataset describes micro-level conflict activities relating to Nigeria, which was extracted from the ACLED. Nigeria is known to have witnessed a fair share of total civil conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa, including the acclaimed first modern warfare in the subcontinent – the Nigeria (versus Biafra) civil war . The large heterogeneous Nigerian population, divided along ethnic, religious and cultural lines continues to generate latent frictions and manifest conflicts. As of today, there are a number of deadly militias operating within the country, notably the Boko Haram and pastoral herders whose activities are recognised globally . This data may be relevant in understanding the nexus between the recent Nigeria's conflicts environment and national development along economic, social and political dimensions. In addition, it provides safety planning resources for individuals' safety and governments.

本数据集详述了与尼日利亚相关的微观层面的冲突活动，该数据源自于ACLED。尼日利亚作为撒哈拉以南非洲地区众多民间冲突的总和之一，见证了被誉为次大陆上第一场现代战争的尼日利亚（与比夫拉）民间战争。尼日利亚庞大而多元的族群人口，沿种族、宗教和文化界限分裂，持续产生潜在的摩擦并显现冲突。截至目前，国内存在多个臭名昭著的武装团体，其中以博科圣地和游牧民族最为著名，其活动已为全球所熟知。此数据集对于理解近期尼日利亚冲突环境与国家在经济、社会和政治维度上的发展之间的联系具有重要价值。此外，它还为个人安全规划和政府提供了安全保障资源。
