ATLAS OF MODERN INSURGENCY
Welcome to The Modern Insurgent's interactive atlas of insurgencies and political movements from all around the globe. The atlas is simple – explore by surfing the map and discover the ongoing political struggles all around the world. Scroll down to find information about the key, and more.
ATLAS KEY
'Red Groups' are violent.
'Blue Groups' are non-violent and focus on political activism rather than full-fledged militancy.
'Green Groups' are ambiguously inactive. They have either disappeared or splintered in recent years.
'Pink Groups' are hacktivist organisations which employ modern and digital approaches to resistance.
Yellow squares are linked to our News & Analysis articles.
The size of a group on the Atlas is determined by its regional influence and its membership size.
Our Atlas should not be interpreted as a tool to judge the safety of travel to a certain location. Our Atlas pinpoints the estimated active territories of insurgencies around the world.
