Forgotten wars

There are more than 400 ongoing conflicts around the world, some of which have lasted decades and still seem unlikely to end. And even if they aren't on the front pages of your newspaper, they keep on causing death, pain and suffering.

swissinfo.ch looks at some of these “forgotten wars” based on the 2012 conflict barometer published by the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research in Germany.
