Death Rates
We predicted that the death rate would have increased rapidly from 2000 to 2013. The trend shows slight decreases in deaths from 2000 to 2005. Government intervention shows why the deaths have been slightly decreasing year by year of the conflict. Between 2005 and 2007 shows the push of the government forces and United Nations for the conflict to really end. Between this time really shows the global awareness and support for the conflict to end. The increase from 2007 to 2008 shows the restart of the Kivu conflict, when peace talks fell through the "floor". The deaths from 2008 to now has been on a steady decline due to decreased conflicts and fights in the region.
