Recent media mentions of ACLED data
Ethiopia has not publicly commented on these clashes, however, the NGO ACLED -which specialises in conflict monitoring- confirmed the incidents.
Data collected by ACLED, a monitoring group, suggest the number of deaths in Mogadishu linked to al-Shabab is on track in 2026 to be the lowest since the group emerged in the mid-2000s.
Analyst Tiziano Breda, of the conflict-monitoring group ACLED, told Reuters that de la Espriella had campaigned in part on cutting funding to the country's disaster-response agency — the same unit now leading the emergency effort.
Ukraine launched three times as many of those strikes in July as it did in January, according to data from ACLED, an independent conflict monitor.
