Description
Economic and political crises in Lebanon have led to an increase in anti-government protests and riots in recent years (CBS News). Additionally, rising food prices have led to riots among citizens as arguments over food and other necessities turned violent (Reuters).
This question will be resolved using the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED) project’s dashboard. To count the number of protest and riot events in Lebanon for a given time period:
- Adjust the “Event Date” filter to the relevant dates.
- Select “Riots” and “Protests” from the event type filter.
- Select “Lebanon” from the Region filter.
- Click “Apply Filters”.
- Ensure the dropdown box located on the upper right side of the line graph displays “Event Count”.

Does this read a little better if it's: What will be the highest number of ACLED recorded protests/riots in Lebanon in a single calendar month from April 2022 through March 2023?
If it's by month, we probably don't need the day included in the dates...But you might clarify we are including March 2023 as a candidate.
