In collaboration with Data Cรญvica, Mexico Evalua, and the digital news platform Animal Polรญtico, we presented an overview of political-criminal violence and its implications for Mexico's democracy one month after the June 2024 elections. While competition between organized crime groups drives much of the political violence, at least 30% of the incidents involved riots and property destruction, suggesting that local power struggles and communal claims of irregularities during the process or rejection of the results can also trigger violence against political figures. However, political-criminal violence has not stopped after the 2 June elections. Around 19 attacks were recorded during the first two weeks of June.

On 26 June, amid economic turmoil and nationwide protests over fuel prices, weak currency and the cost of living, #Bolivia's President Luis Arce survived a coup attempt. The coup, led by General Juan Josรฉ Zรบรฑiga, came after Arce had dismissed him for opposing former President Evo Moralesโ potential 2025 candidacy. Arce denounced Zรบรฑigaโs action and called for public mobilization โto defend democracy.โ The rebellion ended quickly as newly appointed commander-in-chief Josรฉ Wilson Sรกnchez Velรกzquez ordered troops to withdraw. Zรบรฑiga, who was arrested along with 16 other people, accused Arce of orchestrating the incident to boost his popularity. More demonstrations in support of Arce took place in the aftermath of the failed coup, condemning the military action and demanding legal action against Zรบรฑiga.

Israeli forces have engaged in near-daily cross-border fire with Lebanese Hezbollah along Israelโs northern border since 8 October. According to ACLED data, over 7,000 combined attacks have been recorded so far, though the intensity of fire exchanges has fluctuated. In the absence of a ceasefire in #Gaza the conflict has gradually intensified, and both sides have increasingly targeted locations deeper inside each otherโs territories. The most intense phase of escalation happened from May to around mid-June: After Israel's incursion into #Rafah, Hezbollah intensified attacks with new tactics and weapons, as well as targeting cities in Israel that had not been evacuated. In June, Hezbollah also launched increasingly larger salvos of rockets that sparked extensive forest fires across northern Israel. This increased domestic pressure on the Israeli government to show a more forceful response. Watch Ameneh Mehvar, ACLED Middle East Regional Specialist, as she explains in ACLEDโs latest webinar the daily cross-border attacks by the IDF and Hezbollah.

Since 2011, Nigeriaโs North West region has grappled with a proliferation of armed banditry, making it the current epicenter of violence in the country. In Zamfara and Kaduna states alone there have been over 4,758 reported fatalities between 2018 and 2023. On 10 July, ACLED and the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) held a virtual launch to explore the second report in a joint series on non-state armed groups and illicit economies in #WestAfrica. The report explores the dynamics of armed banditry in North West #Nigeria, aiming to unravel their evolution, structure and the illicit economies that bandit groups engage in for financing and resourcing, as well as their interactions with local communities and other non-state armed groups.

The 2024 elections in #Mexico were marred by assassinations and targeted attacks on candidates and other political figures. ACLED records over 330 incidents of violence targeting political figures during the latest electoral cycle, between the start of the federal campaign on 1 March and the voting day on 2 June. At least 95 incidents led to one or more reported deaths. On 2 July, ACLED held its first hybrid event in Spanish to discuss the main takeaways from the 2024 elections in Mexico, in collaboration with Data Cรญvica, Mexico Evalua and Animal Polรญtico. Sandra Pellegrini, #ACLED Latin America Regional Specialist, noted that โMexicoโs conflict landscape is fragmented due to the proliferation of non-state armed groups who engage in violence, mostly affecting civilians, leading to heightened lethality levels.โ Watch Sandra Pellegrini in Mexico City discuss ACLEDโs work in the country.
