Forgotten Conflicts

4
Virtual Collection
Publication date: 
June 2021

Visualizing “forgotten conflicts” is framed in the attempt by changing the focus and shifting it to situations that lack immediacy and that need to be visualized so that they do not fall into oblivion. In these pages that follow, you will find five extensive articles that review the causes, the development and possible future events in five countries in conflict. We are speaking about Honduras, Yemen, the Central African Republic, Western Sahara and Myanmar. And we do so with the help of authors who know the realities of these countries well because they were born there, have lived there or have worked there for some time on cooperation projects.
