EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD

Conflict in Central African Republic

NOT LIVE · CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC RECORD RUNS 7 JAN 2024 27 MAY 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 7 Jan 2024 and 27 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 183 events of organised violence in Central African Republic from published sources. Their best estimate is 967 people killed — and their own range runs 918–1,324, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

What the record holds

DEATHS RECORDED · UCDP BEST ESTIMATE967

UCDP range 918–1,324. On 2of these events UCDP’s own bounds do not bracket its own best estimate; the range above spans everything it published rather than hiding the conflict in the figures.

EVENTS183

164 placed precisely enough to map; 19 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Who was doing the killing

State-based89 events · 466 killed (UCDP range 444–783)A government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.
Non-state21 events · 110 killed (UCDP range 102–121)Two armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.
One-sided73 events · 391 killed (UCDP range 372–420)An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.
