Introduction and Motivations
摘要
Armed conflicts involving armed forces between two or more organized groups threaten to prevent achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Countries with active conflicts (as of 2019) include Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Libya, South Sudan, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Mali, plus some other countries in the Sahel region. The ten most conflict-affected countries by fatalities from 1989 to 2015 include Rwanda, Syria, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Iraq, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Eritrea, India, and Ethiopia.
