South Asia Conflict Monitor
South Asia Conflict Monitor (SACM) aims to provide in-depth analyses, country briefs, brief sketches of important players and a timeline of major events on issues relating to armed conflicts, insurgencies, and terrorism. It also aims to cover government strategies on conflict resolution and related policies to tackle these risks and crises.
South Asia Conflict Monitor is a monthly bulletin designed to provide quality information and actionable intelligence for the policy and research communities, the media, business houses, law enforcement agencies, and general readers by filtering relevant open-source information and intelligence gathered from the ground contacts and sources.
South Asia Conflict Monitor is scheduled to be published at the beginning of each calendar month, assessing events and developments of the previous month.
