  "description": "Monthly conflict pulse for Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan and Eritrea: recorded events, political violence and fatalities from HAPI/HDX humanitarian summaries in a fixed four-country scope.",
  "overview": "This tracker keeps a fixed four-country boundary across the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia, Somalia and South Sudan report through subnational humanitarian records while Eritrea reports nationally, so a country showing zero recorded events reflects the maintained dataset rather than an absence of risk.",
