Conflict in Angola

NOT LIVE · ANGOLA RECORD RUNS 1 JAN 2024 15 FEB 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 1 Jan 2024 and 15 Feb 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 18 events of organised violence in Angola from published sources. Their best estimate is 51 people killed — and their own range runs 15–228, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
