More than 20 countries experienced intrastate or civil conflicts involving insurgent groups in 2024, according to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program.
Notes on verification
UCDP/PRIO data confirm 61 state-based conflicts across 36 countries in 2024, with only 4 interstate wars, strongly implying more than 20 countries had intrastate/civil conflicts. However, no source directly states the exact country count for intrastate conflicts alone, so this is an inferred rather than directly cited figure.
