CrisisWatch Database

CrisisWatch is a 12-page monthly bulletin designed to provide busy readers in the policy community, media, business and interested general public with a succinct regular update on the state of play in all the most significant situations of conflict or potential conflict around the world.

You can you use the CrisisWatch database to follow developments in any conflict situation covered by CrisisWatch for any month from 1 September 2003. The database contains the entries from the current and all past editions of CrisisWatch.

In the database, you can either search for individual countries or regions, or search for several countries or regions at once. It is also possible to specify the timeframe you want to read CrisisWatch entries from.


Conflict Histories

The Conflict Histories offer brief but detailed histories of the conflicts covered by Crisis Group analysts, compiled from publicly-available sources. The Conflict Histories are a useful complement to the CrisisWatch database, which provides up-to-date information on conflict developments in countries around the world.

Crisis Group’s conflict histories represent one view of a conflict's history at the time of writing. They are not a substitute for individual research or for the extensive professional literature associated with the majority of these conflicts.

You can access the texts by clicking on the links to the respective countries below:

Early Warning Resources

Early warning is a critical part of conflict prevention and management, and a core element of Crisis Group's mission.  We have compiled a useful list of Early Warning Resources, with links to early warning websites – for violent conflicts, humanitarian crises and natural disasters; risk analysis services; conflict trend analyses; and daily news services for the most current conflict-related information.
