Abstract

Mozambique has been affected by multiple conflicts since colonial rule. This paper proposes an e-PAZ Early Warning System that helps in identifying potential conflicts. The system filters conflict related news from social media. It also offers geographic and socioeconomic information of the conflict zone. It provides qualitative and quantitative analysis on the past conflicts and gives user an open access to a wide range of resources. Lab evaluation and expert-walk-through will be carried out to measure success.
