This study presents a data-driven approach to predicting conflict events in West Africa by combining climate data, socio-economic indicators, and population metrics. Using a Random Forest Regressor, the model identifies key drivers of conflict, including population size and unemployment. Predictions for 2024 and 2027 provide actionable insights for policymakers and humanitarian organizations.

The research demonstrates how artificial intelligence can support decision-making, resource allocation, and early intervention strategies, contributing to the broader goal of promoting peace and stability in the region.
