Analytical Framework
Each case is built as a living analytical dossier.
Conflict is not reduced to a headline. The Observatory separates evidence, actors, chronology, human consequences, diplomacy, and analytical assessment.
Actors & Interests
States, armed groups, political movements, external sponsors, institutions, and the interests shaping their behavior.
Human Consequences
Displacement, casualties, infrastructure effects, access to services, and other documented humanitarian consequences.
Diplomacy & Outlook
Ceasefires, negotiations, mediation, sanctions, external involvement, and evidence-based analytical outlooks.
Conflict Dossiers
Cases under observation
CO
The first conflict dossiers are being prepared.
AFDES will publish cases only when the underlying chronology, sources, actors, and analytical context are ready.
Methodology
Evidence first. Analysis clearly identified.
Conflict data is frequently incomplete, delayed, politically contested, or reported under different methodologies. The Observatory therefore treats sourcing, dates, context, and uncertainty as part of the analysis itself.
Quantitative claims can carry an explicit source and “as of” date.
Documented events and AFDES analytical outlooks are presented as distinct layers.
Dossiers maintain dated developments so changes in conflict dynamics remain visible over time.
Each case displays its analytical update date so readers can judge how current the assessment is.
