For the week ending Sunday January 18th, the Maghreb region saw a decrease in the number of Critical Incidents by a rate of -18%. The number of destabilizing events fell from 140 this week vs. 115 in the previous. Despite a reduction in the number of incidents, the CIncidents Index, measuring the severity of those events and their impact on the region’s stability on a scale of 0.5 to 5.0 rose by 2% sequentially this week to settle at 2.08. The Index, as shown in the thermometer to the right for reference purposes, indicates that the Maghreb region remains a high-risk zone.
