Africa OSINT Laboratory
A public-source research environment for collecting, verifying, corroborating and assessing Africa security information. Every result identifies its originating publisher, evidence status, source reliability and confidence so the reasoning can be traced and challenged.
Counts are computed from stored published records in the selected window, after removing duplicate reporting and future-dated entries. No record in this window has completed analyst review yet — results are machine-collected reporting.
Supports "quoted phrases", word OR word, -exclude, and field filters country: / layer: / publisher: / category:

How the six layers are collected
Records are collected from named public sources, filtered for an Africa nexus, de-duplicated across layers and graded for verification confidence. Read the methodology and source grading.
