Description

The country you select must be one of the countries listed in the Uppsala Conflict Data Program 2020, i.e., the article you read for week one. You can find a list of the countries included by reviewing Appendices 1-3 in said article. 

Once you've chosen a country, your job will be to prepare a case study of that country's organized violence (if there is more than one form of OV in that country, please choose only one of the conflicts). Within your case study, you must include the following elements: 1) Explain which category of organized violence this country falls under and why; 2) Identify the causes of the conflict, paying particular attention to one of the many causes we are discussing in class; 3) Describe the parties to the conflict, i.e., who is involved; 4) The effects of the violence (how many causalities, who is being targeted, humanitarian effects, financial costs); 5) You must propose your own pathway to peace, i.e., utilizing the tools we discuss in class, how do you propose to resolve this conflict (don't be afraid to be creative!).

violence in Burkina Faso belongs to is armed violence. All the parties to the conflict in Burkina
Faso are armed. The violence started in 2015 (Dwyer 2017). The government has had a military
response to this violence. In light of this, it has deployed armed soldiers to places where the
violence is intensive. On the other hand, the local jihadist groups are heavily armed. When the
