The biggest oil supply shock in history has reached the one-month mark.
Myanmar’s suffering has been overshadowed by higher-profile wars. But the conflict-monitoring organisation Acled estimates that about 93,000 people have been killed since 2021, while the UN says that 3.6 million are displaced.
Mientras Estados Unidos baraja una invasión terrestre de Irán, los ataques siguen tan intensos como al comienzo. Israel ha lanzado más de la mitad.
“Ten [of the ISWAP incidents] involved drone attacks and the remainder were intelligence‑gathering or surveillance missions used to prepare ground offensives against military targets,” said Ladd Serwat, ACLED’s senior analyst for Africa.
Such a rapid widening of a conflict is “unprecedented,” said Clionadh Raleigh, a professor of political geography and conflict at the UK’s University of Sussex who also heads ACLED. “Even in World War II it wasn’t within days. That’s down to Iran’s response.”
ACLED, an independent global monitor, has documented at least 198 drone strikes in Sudan launched by both sides in the first two months of 2026. At least 52 of them involved civilian casualties, killing 478 people.
ACLED’s data covers demonstrations between February 28 and March 6 and records more than 990 worldwide, both for and against Iran’s government and for and against the U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign against Tehran.
Data collected by conflict monitor ACLED showed the Israeli forces had also engaged in clashes with Hezbollah fighters in villages in the central and eastern sectors of southern Lebanon.
For Héni Nsaibia, senior West Africa analyst at the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data group (ACLED), the collaboration is "a step in the right direction" for tackling the rise in violence.
In more than 280 strikes that ACLED documented as of Wednesday, over 20% targeted Revolutionary Guard or Basij positions, mostly in Tehran and in western and southern Iran.
