PRIO's Conflict Trends: A Global Overview, 1946-2022 report provides an analysis of the global trends in conflict covering the period 1946 to 2022, to help policymakers and practitioners better understand the contexts they are working in. "While Russia's invasion of Ukraine dominated global headlines, atrocities on an unprecedented scale were being committed in the shadows in Ethiopia." "The war in Ethiopia resulted in more battle-related deaths in 2022 than the wars in Ukraine, Yemen, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia, Mali and Burkina Faso combined," said Siri Aas Rustad, Research Professor at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO). The wars in Ukraine and Ethiopia were the primary contributors to over 237,000 battle-related deaths in 2022. According to the new figures, more state-based conflict battle-related deaths took place in 2022 than any year since 1994. The war in Ethiopia's Tigray region accounted for over 100,000 battle-related deaths in 2022, even more than Russia's invasion of Ukraine which accounted for more than 81,000 deaths, according to new conflict trends data released today. New figures show conflict-related deaths at 28-year high, largely due to Ethiopia and Ukraine wars
