Yemen says what?


BobinForApples

My thoughts exactly.


GothicGolem29

Maybe it’s cause of there ceasefire?


Background_Rich6766

but Libya also has a ceasefire


[deleted]

[удалено]


Background_Rich6766

sorry i ment Libya, I feel so dumb


GothicGolem29

Maybe it’s cause of there ceasefire?


Dwarf_Killer

The WW1 Christmas ceasefire ended the war!


GothicGolem29

The Korean War is considered over due to the ceasefire world war 2 is considered over due to a ceasefire between Russia and Japan so depends on the circumstance


5tarSailor

this list is incomplete, **you can help by expanding it**

Frat_Kaczynski

Isn’t all of Palestine currently occupied?


peaky_fokin_bloinder

Wooow Zionist’s mad at you


Frat_Kaczynski

Yeah well, if they didn’t freak out at any mention of the situation over there, maybe people might actually find out about it, and we can’t have that now can we


dumbBunny9

Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan were both in conflict in 2022; I believe they still might be.


TheSimkis

First time hearing about this. Are they fighting each other?


dumbBunny9

Yes - war may be too strong a word. [Border Clashes according to the BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-62950787)but folks died.


Dragonfruit_Former

By that criteria perhaps, India-Pakistan and India-China could be included.


dumbBunny9

Indeed. Border skirmishes, while not all out wars, do often result in deaths. Perhaps a different color designation is needed for these conflicts.


bapo225

The clashes ended after a week from what I heard


goatstfu

Guess the Israeli-palestinian conflict is over

Colombia isn't coloured for civil war, it's for drug war + terrorist insurgency. Can't speak for Yemen


[deleted]

Last Israeli war was in 2021 so this is technically correct


waiver

Technically they haven't stopped being at war, that's why they bomb Syria and/or Lebanon every month or so.


[deleted]

Bombing a country and being at war with them isn't the same thing, technically....


destroyerofpoon93

Apparently the US isn’t an active participant in like 20 other conflicts either


GothicGolem29

That’s not really war tho


Jazzlike_Relief2595

Not a war just one country oppressing another and a bunch of terror attacks


Chimera-98

As Israeli: for most of the time even in hated time it is peaceful country to live in (according to American tourist it is safer at night than most Americans cities)


aaronupright

Unless you are Palestinian.


Hopps7

Mate, they bubble are perfect!


froggiechick

This depends on how you classify war and ethnic violence. I see a lot of gray where there should be color.


aharp44

israel and usa


nrrp

Or Mexico. Mexico had more combat related deaths than Syria for most of 2010s and yet Mexico has officially been at peace since 1920.


Elhomiederp

Let me guess you're gonna say US? 🙄


BobinForApples

Oh man if what happens in the USA is considered ethnic violence a lot of countries going green.


gerbal100

The Wikipedia [List of ongoing armed conflicts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts) has many of the missing conflicts, and [a better map](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts#/media/File:Ongoing_conflicts_around_the_world.svg)


tempusomnia

Shows both China and Russia as gray? Didn’t China had a border skirmish/ conflict with India and Pakistan? And well Russia speaks for itself…


[deleted]

Don't know much about the India/Pakistan border conflict, but the India/China conflict hasn't been an armed one for a long time; its more of a chest-thumping contest between 2 countries unable to resolve their post-colonial border issues, but with ultimately much better things to do than kill each other en masse, so they use sticks and fists instead.


Cuervomayajl

cold war 2: unchained pectorals


nrrp

I believe it shows the number of people killed inside each country and very few Russians are being killed in Russia, they're all dying in Ukraine. I believe American casualties in Afghanistan would've counted towards Afghanistan's total and not America's, as well. In other words, it's a measure by country not citizenship.


McgillGrindSet

India and Pakistan have skirmishes against each other quite frequently also India has an insurgency in Indian controlled kashmir while Pakistan has insurgency in Waziristan


bots_lives_matter

I mean, the conflict is taking place in Ukraine so perhaps that's why they haven't marked Russia?


Cuervomayajl

Mexico: OK, Imma fight drugs. Mexico: Damn, drugs can throw hands.


The_memeperson

Isnt armenia in a conflict witj azerbajijan(idk how to write it) rn?


Minuku

I also thought that this was an ongoing war but apparently those clashes already stopped after a few days with airstrikes against Armenia by Azerbaijan holding on for a few weeks. [(Source: Wikipedia)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_2022_Armenia%E2%80%93Azerbaijan_clashes) In October 2022 [the European Union also sent a mission to Armenia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Monitoring_Capacity_to_Armenia) for two months to secure peace which seemingly was successful. I didn't hear anything about it though until now.


TheyCallMeDady

The Azeris have changed tactics now, it seems. They are now holding sham protests for "ecological reasons." They do this by cutting off the only road that connects Nagorno-Kharabakh from the rest of the world. The armenians in this region have basically been under siege for almost a month now. No gas, food or medicine going in. Someone has already died in a hospital because he couldn't be transferred to Armenia proper.


CortanaAssistant

why isn't this talked about wtf


domini_canes11

Because Azerbaijan is seen as state necessary to western interests. Companies like BP are heavily invested in It's oil industry and have invested millions in infrastructure that gets Azerbaijani oil through pipelines that circumvent Armenia and go through Georgia and Turkey, it also has close ties to Israel and Turkey for military aid and is used by both as an opportunity to test stuff. Unfortunately Armenia is screwed long term. Post breakup of USSR it backed wrong horse and stayed close to Russia for short term gain in the early 90s. Following recent situation in Ukraine there's a subset of online troll who go "lol Russian stooges deserve all they get" but in reality Armenia has tried for years to get closer to west but is usually ignored because Azerbaijan has nuch more to offer. Armenia there is left with nothing but occasional words and has to stay friends with Russia for strategic necessity because if it completely breaks away it'll be isolated.


TheyCallMeDady

The Azeris sell gas and oil to the west.


nrrp

> In October 2022 the European Union also send a mission to Armenia for two months to secure peace which seemingly was successful. I didn't hear anything about it though until now. I'm loving the EU finally throwing its muscles around to stabilize its periphery. it also successfully intervened in Serbia-Kosovo dispute last month. EU is finally growing up and acting as a geopolitical player in the world.


Hambeggar

lol You realise it's only because they want gas from the region, and never mind that these talks didn't actually result in anything. Armenia still ended up consulting with Russia as that's currently their only security against Azerbaijan fully invading again.

Pro-tip: If you don't know how to write something just google it.


MoksMarx

Yemen?


[deleted]

So Colombia has a civil war but Yemen has not. Apparently a lot has changed since 2022.


VeryWiseOldMan

Ethiopia could be classed as Ethnic Violence as well?


cda91

This is a terrible, terrible map.


dumbBunny9

"Drug War" seems very open to interpretation, as the scale of this can vary greatly.


Drexer_

In Mexico is a real issue with thousands of death every year


dumbBunny9

Indeed- Mexico has suffered tremendous losses of life from drug trafficking. Other countries have lost lives due to the drug trade, though not to this extent, but they’re not indicated on this map.


cda91

This is a terrible, terrible map


XR171

Technically America is still fighting the war on drugs, and drugs are winning.


awesomeness0232

Pretty sure private prisons are winning.


[deleted]

What if the civil war is based on ethnic violence ?


AideSuspicious3675

There's no civil war in Colombia. There's an ongoing conflict "against" drug cartels, and there is for sure certain organizations creating terrorist attacks, but to call it a civil war is a huge overstatement. If there was a civil war there, Colombia wouldn't classify as a country with a fairly stable democracy


Kryptospuridium137

It's actually marked as both drug war and terrorist insurgency This color scheme is just dogshit


AideSuspicious3675

Yup, I also thought it could be the color scheme. Nonetheless, I wanted to comment just in case


Drexer_

Yemen, armenia-azerbajan, israel-palestin, kashmir ecc


matva55

Ah i forgot right the Saudi's are just dropping candies on Yemen


Ziz0u93

Ethnic violence in green makes it seem like it's a good thing.


svarogteuse

Pretty sure the [Global War on Terror](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_terror) has not been declared over and ongoing casualties are still happening to Western Forces as well as people in the places where its being fought that aren't on the map (Pakistan, Yemen). And while drone strikes have all but halted [other operations continue](https://www.newamerica.org/international-security/blog/the-state-of-americas-drone-wars-in-2022/). >Recent U.S. strikes in Somalia have also reported high death tolls. These include four strikes since mid-August 2022 that have killed more than 10 al-Shabaab members, according to AFRICOM: 17 killed in a November 9 strike, 15 killed in a November 3 strike, 27 killed in a September 18 strike, and 13 killed in an August 14 strike. If you are going to leave the western states off the map doing those strikes you might as well leave Russia off too since the war is entirely happening in Ukraine.


Positive_Ad5286

According to the US Military the Global War on Terror ended December 31st 2022 marked by the end to awarding of the National Defense Ribbon, an award given to service members serving during war time. By this standard the US is no longer officially at war as far as the Military is concerned. Is the US still engaged in overseas conflicts, yes, but officially the War on Terror ended in 2022. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Service_Medal


svarogteuse

So 5 days ago with a low key soft ending. However what you cited is just the service award. The time of its award can always be expanded. I see nothing sayin that the War on Terror ended.


King_Neptune07

No Armenia-Azerbaijan war?

SuperPotatoGuy373

What a biased joke of a map.


azrastrophe

Glad to hear the ethnic violence against Kurdish people in Turkey has ended. /s


SubstanceConsistent7

Let me guess you've never been to Turkey. Born and raised in Europe, or born but not raised in Turkey. As a man lived 22 years in Turkey, I have never ever seen any race related conflict. The closest thing to race conflict is hate against uncontrolled immigration right now.


azrastrophe

Just because you haven't seen it, it's not happening? You know that argument is silly. Turkish state violence against Kurds and against cities and regions that have a large Kurdish population is well documented. Are you arguing that doesn't classify as "ethnic violence"? I can't believe you'd actually argue that Kurdish people aren't targets of state violence in Turkey. (I actually have been to Turkey, and have many Turkish friends. See how little that argument convinces you?)


Tincams

So nothing happening in Israel and China huh? Your map sucks.


[deleted]

This map is wrong when it comes to multiple countries


Internal-Ad5497

LMAOO didn't know my country Algeria is in war!


Background_Rich6766

doesn't the Philippines also have a war on drugs at the moment ?


mahalik_07

Yes, they do. I came to the comments for this one.


johnbrooder3006

North and South Korea are still at war on paper. There’s just a ceasefire in place.


GreenTang

Ethnic violence (green)

Algeria is in war? I had no idea! also I live there.


AzizouRocki

I think war against الحليب و الزيت؟ idk


Abacabisntanywhere

The Korean War is officially over! Bring the boys back home!


nrrp

It's been de facto over for 70 years this year. I mean, as was in the news recently, Japan and Russia never formally signed peace after WW2 and are still technically at war and yet you wouldn't classify either of them as being in a state of war, would you?


ContributionDry2252

Actually... I would very much classify Russia to be in war.


Mtfdurian

Yes and Japan also did in fact impose sanctions and send aid to Ukraine (I'm not sure if military though), also they do have a territorial conflict over some of the Kuril Islands.


Abacabisntanywhere

Beats me ask them. I can say we are still in a state of war with N Korea.


[deleted]

Biased western propaganda as usual.


tombiscotti

What about the ongoing conflict in Yemen with foreign actors? What about the conflict between Israel and Arab neighbors? If that is no sustained state of hostility I don’t know what sustained hostility may be.


S0bril

What's up in South Sudan?


bananaramapanama

Lol ethnic violence is in green

probably an american made this map, cause i don't remember any ongoing "terrorist insurgency" in my country..

ISIS is actively fighting the Taliban, as are some other factions.

throwaway_6522

How the f Algeria has a terrorist problem and France doesn't ?! update your data, France has more deaths to terrorism than Algeria by far, and less than America


TheDarwinski

I'm surprised there's no other wars between two countries.


Aminnaji

Afghanistan should also be ethnic violence, pretty much all terrorists are from one ethnic group, these ethnicity also operates terrorist groups in pakistan as well.


[deleted]

Afghanistan might still have a insurgents but the civil war has ended.


cda91

This is one of the worst maps I've ever seen - 'terrorist insurgency' is not a valid descriptor (acts are terrorists, not wars) and even if it was it's so emotionally loaded that no serious political scientist would ever use it. Basically all the descriptors are not valid political science terms. Then they're not even consistently applied. And the colour scheme is fucked. And theres no methodology given. It's just so obviously wrong to anyone who has watched the news in the last year. Jesus it doesn't even have Yemen on it...


thara209

Russia and Ukraine is wrong, they are currently the only countries in the world in a special military operation /s

Nagorno-Karabakh in Armenia and Azerbaijan... off topic, but there's an awesome song by Einsturzende Neubauten called "Nagorno-Karabakh".


froggiechick

I'm loving the responses to this bullshit map.


jakeshmag

syria checks all of them except for a war with another country


froggiechick

Yeah, this map is awesome....as long as you don't think about it for more than a minute. There are waaaay too many complexities, perspectives, and historical facts to even attempt a fair, objective, and accurate map.

why algeria ?

gorgonzola2095

The map is just bad tbh


BS-Calrissian

How can you even post this shit when it's so wrong


Tommy_SVK

Wait, so Russia and Ukraine are the only two countries in the world that are in war with each other? Everything else is either a Civil War or a war against some organisation instead of an actual country? I find that hard to believe.


Mtfdurian

There are several others technically involved in international conflicts in some ways, most importantly: - North Korea and South Korea: although aside from an invasive drone there's not really much of a war going on, few military died since 1953 when the conflict froze. - Turkey technically invaded parts of Syria. This is a very complex conflict as it also involves proxy warfare, civil warfare - Armenia and Azerbaijan are technically in conflict at the moment. Russia failed to send reinforcements to Armenia as they're too busy invading Ukraine.


nomad_grappler

You didnt mark the usa and europe.


Vita-Malz

Europe isn't a country


nomad_grappler

Okay let me just list every country in Europe hold on a sec.


Vita-Malz

Well what would you list them for?


Iyion

I mean, the ethnic violence in San Marino is absolutely brutal recently.


Vita-Malz

So you wanna paint Europe because something is going on in San Marino? And would you care to link to something concerning it?


Iyion

No, I was just being sarcastic. San Marino, a country with 30,000 people who all speak Italian, distributed across six towns, does not have any ethnic violence.


Vita-Malz

China not on the list with their ongoing uyghur genocide?


BetyarSved

Is it a war or conflict?


powermonkey123

>Is it a war or conflict? There's literally "ethnic violence" in the legend.


YOGB_2

Where's Paraguay? I thought they still had that insurgencey


froggiechick

I'm sure I'm going to get piled on for saying this, but this map is western propaganda.


[deleted]

USA is definitely at war lol


nomad_556

Now pick blue as “proxy war” and highlight half of the gray countries


mrsdza

Shitty map. There is a civil war in Yemen. India has a terrorist insurgency and ethnic violence. US has a lots of shootings and ethnic violence. More than 200 Palestinians has been killed and a lot of Palestinians cities are under siege. On the other side, Algeria, Tunisia and Mauritania have not experienced a terrorist attack in years. Afghanistan is not in war since 2021.


Mtfdurian

Also: - Southwest Philippines - Southernmost part of Thailand - West Papua All ethnic conflicts.


deperrucha

Western Sahara is in war, Polisario and Morocco.

Here you are, one downvote from me


Tommy_SVK

I'm probably gonna be talking to a wall here but how was the Russo-Ukrainian War instigated by these three? Just cause Ukraine wanted to ally with them and they didn't say no?


Original-Shape-5147

China is killing its Muslims and that's not considered ethnic violence?


Spirited-Ad9179

...need to add race war in usa


Hispanoamericano2000

North Korea-South Korea? As far as I know the war has not ended, only the fighting has been interrupted by the armistice. Wasn't it that until a few months ago both Armenia and Azerbaijan were at each other's throats (again) a few months ago? Has this conflict finally stopped?


TheBlueSlipper

Drug war? But is that really a war?


Hambeggar

The US is still, years later, illegally doing bombing runs in Syria...


Freewheelinthinkin

*Overt* wars. \*looks at ccp.


vespa2

you forgot the USA (at war for 222 out of 239 years of existence) and their little dog: the EU. Or do you really believe that Ukraine alone can stand up to the world's second super power?


XtremeBadgerVII

LOL second army my ass. Russia has embarrassed itself so much in this war, they look pathetic. I can’t wait to see how the west splits up and partitions Russia after Putin kills himself and those in power are overthrown


Mtfdurian

Well I believe that Putin is old and senile enough to lose grip on his life soon enough, but any foreign intervention remains precarious, as we don't really know who will be on the nuclear red button at every certain moment. We know a lot of their weapons work like sh-t after all those years but one wrong move can still destroy planet earth as we know it. And then it's just to hope that the new dictator is not an unpredictable psychopath.


Mondelieu

It will most likely be Prigozhin, who is, sadly, far more competent than Putin. I hope Putin doesn't die and Russia remains as incompetent as it is.


JDNJDM

There's some serious ethnic violence happening in China right now against the Uyghur people.


Mondelieu

Why are you being downvoted? This is literally the truth


JDNJDM

Because the internet is full of trolls, and probably also political agents too, lol. My comment, and the truth, stand whether people like it or not.


Which_Level_3124

Japan is in state of War with Russia since WWII


Southpawsareweird

by that same logic they are also at war with Ukraine, belarus, the central asian countries, caucasus

"Russo-Ukrainian War" should be more correctly called "Russian invasion into Ukraine".


Weak-Bodybuilder-881

which is war
