Continuing Conflicts That Create Refugees – February 2017

Deteriorated Situations: Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Korean Peninsula, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan)

Overview: Jihadist insurgents in Pakistan unleashed a new wave of attacks in February prompting the government to launch a deadly crackdown, while the military’s targeting of alleged Taliban camps across the border in Afghanistan escalated tensions between Islamabad and Kabul. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict saw intensified fighting along the Line of Contact (LoC). North Korea’s announcement of another missile test and the assassination of its leader’s estranged half-brother drew international condemnation. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), old security threats re-emerged and in the Central African Republic (CAR) fighting between rebel factions spiked and could worsen in March.

Conflict Risk Alerts: Central African Republic - Resolution Opportunities None

CrisisWatch is a monthly early warning bulletin designed to provide a regular update on the state of the most significant situations of conflict around the world.
