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.本数据集收录源自武装冲突地点与事件数据项目（Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project，简称ACLED）的尼日利亚微观冲突活动相关信息。作为撒哈拉以南非洲内战频发的国家之一，尼日利亚曾爆发该区域公认的首场现代化战争——尼日利亚（对抗比夫拉）内战。尼日利亚人口规模庞大且构成多元，因族群、宗教与文化差异形成社会割裂，持续滋生潜在摩擦与显性冲突。截至目前，该国境内仍活跃着多支致命武装团伙，其中尤以博科圣地（Boko Haram）与游牧牧民武装最为典型，其相关活动已引发全球广泛关注。本数据集有助于厘清尼日利亚近期冲突态势与经济、社会、政治多维度国家发展之间的内在关联。此外，该数据集还可为民众个人安全防护及政府决策提供安全规划相关的参考资源。
