Dropped Ethiopia/ARDUF, following PRIO and failed efforts to find indications that deaths > 1000.
recoded Aceh war as two conflicts, following Ross case study and PRIO data. (5/30/03)
Added Somalia 1981-1991, with 25k deaths, halving the 50k reported by Africa Watch in 1990, cited in Brogan.
Changed Bangladesh 1982-1998 to 1976-1997 based on Brogan, and doubled the dth estimate from 3000 to 6000, which still seems conservative given various sources, though no sharp estimate can be found.
Added Burundi 1988 after reading Lemarchand, although it is borderline a societal violence type case.
Added India 1982 (Khalistan), using 21469 for total deaths, from KPS Gill, Faultlines, vol 1, no. 1.
Added India 1952, guessing 10k for total deaths.
changed Iraq 1961 from 11 to 14, since ends with Iraq-Iran agreement in 1975
Somalia ethnic data from David Laitin
Somalia religious data from LC
religious data on Comoros from LC
religious data on Armenia obtained from LC by adding Kurds and Azeris
Colombia religious data from LC
data on GDR, USSR, Czechoslovakia and SR Yugoslavia is from EB Book of the Year, 1990
according to EB Tho (.018) are more than the Chinese in Vietnam (.15)
in South Africa I have used EB data to change 1st and 2nd dom. groups to Zulu (.22) and Xhosa (.18)
I have coded Christians as the minority religious and ethnic group in Saudi Arabia
I now think that the relevant minority group for Libya is Berber, which is about .05 in LC
in France taking the North African countries separately every one of them loses out to the share of immigrants from Portugal. But taking them together, they beat Portugal. I think religion is best here because not all are Arabs: substantial number of Turks. Let me know if that doesn't seem right.
I have asked David on Nigeria who quotes Morrison's data: Hausa-Fulani 29%, Yoruba 20%
Jordan war start date changed from 1975 to 1971
Changed Spain start year from 1959 to 1968, year ETA adopts armed struggle.
Based on Lintner, changed to one continuous war in Burma, assigned it 60k deaths, although Brogan says 40k, but even 60k is likely to be absurdly conservative.
9 Jun 2003 11:24 -- added Oromo Lib Front, 1992-, based on reading Agence France Presse and other reports from Lexis-Nexis.
