A research-grade, publicly accessible dataset documenting source-verified Boko Haram–related fatality incidents across Northern Nigeria (2009–present). # Offline Conflict Registry | Boko Haram Incidents (2009 - 2026) Welcome to the **Boko Haram Conflict Registry**. This is a fast, offline, and fully local database explorer that allows researchers and journalists to query over a decade of conflict data instantly. ## Features - **Student Projects:** An excellent foundation for final year university students working on projects closely related to conflict data tracking, data visualization, or offline local databases. - **Live Search & Filtering:** Use simple keywords (like "Bombing", "Borno", or "2015") to instantly filter and match records directly from the database schema. - **Data Visualization Setup:** Dynamic visual representations (bars/charts) adapt to your current filters on the fly. - **Zero API Dependency:** Completely stripped of LLM agent endpoints, running exactly as an offline, read-only SQLite wrapper optimized for safety and raw speed. --- ## Data Sources This project's monolithic database (`incidents.db`) spans 831 isolated, strictly-verified conflict events seamlessly aggregated from multiple prestigious tracking registries: - **Nigeria Security Tracker (NST):** The Council on Foreign Relations' highly structured dataset. - **Wikipedia Timelines:** Fully scraped, parsed, and verified monthly incident timelines spanning from 2009 to 2026. - **Amnesty International & Media Reports:** Secondary human-rights data independently isolated from detailed textual summaries. *(All markdown data was rigorously deduplicated and verified before being injected into the unified SQLite query engine.)* --- ## Running Locally 1. Ensure Python `3.9+` is installed on your machine. 2. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`. 3. Launch the local FastAPI server dynamically: ```bash uvicorn backend.main:app --reload ``` 4. Open `frontend/index.html` locally in any modern web browser to access the dashboard.
