May Data Pause: ACLED data updates are paused for the second and third weeks of May 2023. Data covering the period of 29 April to 19 May will be published according to the regular data release schedule on Monday, 22 May, and Tuesday, 23 May. Standard updates on Monday and Tuesday will resume the following week. As a result of this schedule adjustment, ACLED CAST will not produce predictions for May, and will instead release new forecasts in June.
