War is a term used to describe violent conflicts that persist and are organized. One of the warring parties must be a government’s regular armed forces. If these characteristics are not met, one speaks of an armed conflict instead of a war.
Not all wars affect an entire country, many are confined to a specific region of the country. In some countries there are several war regions, such as India and, since 2017, the Congo.
Some wars have been going on for many years, such as in Sudan. Other wars have broken out even though they have ended, for example the conflict in Burundi.
