List of ongoing armed conflicts explained

The following is a list of ongoing armed conflicts that are taking place around the world.

Criteria

This list of ongoing armed conflicts identifies present-day conflicts and the death toll associated with each conflict. The criteria of inclusion are the following:

• Armed conflicts consist in the use of armed force between two or more organized armed groups, governmental or non-governmental.^[1] Interstate, intrastate and non-state armed conflicts are listed.

• This is not a list of countries by intentional homicide rate, and criminal gang violence is generally not included unless there is also significant military or paramilitary involvement.
• Fatality figures include battle-related deaths (military and civilian) as well as civilians intentionally targeted by the parties to an armed conflict. Only direct deaths resulting from violence are included for the current and previous year; excess deaths indirectly resulting from famine, disease, or disruption of services are included along with violent deaths in the cumulative fatalities count when available.
• Listed conflicts have at least 100 cumulative deaths in total and at least 1 death in current or in the past calendar year.
• Fatality totals may be inaccurate or unavailable due to a lack of information. A figure with a plus symbol, indicates that at least that many people have died (e.g. 455+ indicates that at least 455 people have died).
• Location refers to the states where the main violence takes place, not to the warring parties. Italics indicate disputed territories and unrecognized states.
• A territorial dispute or a protest movement which has not experienced deliberate and systematic deaths due to state or paramilitary violence is not considered to be an armed conflict.

Major wars (10,000 or more combat-related deaths in current or previous year)

The 5 conflicts in the following list have caused at least 10,000 direct, violent deaths per year in battles between identified groups, in the current or previous calendar year.^[2]
