"As 2005 began, there were 23 significant ongoing armed conflicts (defined here as causing 1,000 or more deaths) and another 28 'hot spots' that could slide into or revert to war. The total number of actual conflicts is two more than the 1998 all-time low of 21 in the 16 years of this annual survey, but the net decrease from 2004 was only one, as Cote D'Ivoire and Haiti returned to the list. In addition to Washington's 'global war on terror' (GWOT), distribution by region in 2004 of the remaining 22 significant armed conflicts is: Asia, 7; Africa, 7; Middle East, 3; Americas, 4; and Europe, 1." (DEFENSE MONITOR) This article provides a survey of world conflicts in 2005.
