Post No. 2,339 - [Content Warning] Violent conflict in the world

There is a list of ongoing armed conflicts in the world at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts&oldid=1130101694

. There is a copy of a map of these conflicts, from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Ongoing_conflicts_around_the_world.svg, below.

This shows: 

  • six major conflicts with 80-380,000 deaths so far in 2022; 
  • sixteen wars caused 50,000 deaths; 
  • twenty two “minor” conflicts caused 7-7,500 deaths; 
  • “skirmishes and clashes” caused 4-500 deaths; and
  • then there are the wounded, the indirectly harmed through famine and disruption, the devastation caused to all sentient life, and the physical damage.

There is more work to be done.
