| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Between 1998 and 2002, Africa was the region with the highest number of major armed conflicts compared on average eight distinct major armed conflicts each year during this five year period. These conflicts brew in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Darfur region of Sudan and Somalia. The existence of armed non-state groups in the Central African Republic, Chad, Nigeria, as well as the high levels of firearms crime and violence in urban centers in Kenya and South Africa remains a critical humna security concern. |
