📢 NOVEMBER UPDATE

🇻🇪 Venezuela: Both our models are highlighting an increase in armed conflict risk. The text model has been signaling its rise since August, when U.S. warships began deploying off the country’s northern coast. The best model only spiked in October, after the onset of fatalities.
December 4, 2025 at 10:50 AM
📢 DATA UPDATE
🇦🇴 Angola: Both models show a rise in conflict risk since July, when protests broke out after the government raised fuel prices. The unrest turned violent, resulting in several deaths. Our subnational map shows Luanda, where the protests began, as the area most at risk of riots.
November 25, 2025 at 8:05 AM
📢 OCTOBER UPDATE
🇹🇲 Turkmenistan: The text model suggests an increase in the risk of conflict and violence — a trend not clearly mirrored by the best model. The levels of risk it estimates are also higher, suggesting it may be capturing latent tensions not yet visible in other data sources.
November 5, 2025 at 11:40 AM
📢 DATA UPDATE!


🇶🇦 Qatar: Our latest update shows both models predicting an increase in conflict risk. Interestingly, the text-based model was already signaling rising tensions before the best model caught up.

SEPTEMBER UPDATE
🇪🇷 Eritrea: Most of our forecast models are signaling growing instability in the region.

FEBRUARY UPDATE!

🇦🇲 Armenia: Following Azerbaijan's offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh and mass displacement, our forecasts show a significant decrease in risk—something that is uncommon after a conflict outbreak. While this shift is promising, the situation remains fragile, and uncertainty persists.

DATA UPDATE!

JANUARY UPDATE!
Escaping armed conflict is rarely smooth. Our models capture this uncertainty, showing gradual or volatile transitions—like in Afghanistan. As countries fluctuate between conflict states, our forecasts show jumps, highlighting the difficulty of fully escaping conflict.
February 4, 2025 at 11:41 AM
DATA UPDATE!
This month, a surprising pattern has emerged: the world appears more polarized, with a clearer divide between countries at high risk and those deemed safer by our model. It could be the result of its learning process or a shift in the importance of key features. Stay tuned for updates!
January 31, 2025 at 5:51 PM
