4. Africa: Conflicts Without Borders
Instead of the usual depiction of conflicts as countrywide and defined by national boundaries, this map visualizes conflict in Africa as sub-national and transnational areas of armed conflict, inter-communal strife, and political violence that occurred so far in 2009. 
Areas of conflict were drawn around locations of reported conflict incidents in , as well as concentrations of internally displaced persons and cross-border rebel bases and refugee camps in neighboring countries.  This depiction of areas of conflict more accurately displays where conflict has been occurring in Africa and the sub-national and transnational nature of these conflicts.
