5. CEASEFIRE WATCH#

How far each war is from stopping. Facts, not hopes.

Stage Wars
5 · Ceasefire holding —
4 · Ceasefire agreed Gaza (EL 66), Lebanon (EL 51)
3 · Talks under way —
2 · Talks planned Ukraine (EL 95), DR Congo (EL 70)
1 · Messages only Yemen (EL 91), Sudan (EL 89), Iran (EL 81), Myanmar (EL 61)
0 · No channel Ethiopia (EL 74), Sahel (EL 64), West Bank (EL 61), Pakistan (EL 58)

Reading the gap. Gaza and Lebanon both have ceasefires on paper (stage 4), but Gaza's EL of 66 says the killing has not stopped. Ukraine has the only dated talks (stage 2) among the full-scale wars. 4 wars have no channel at all.
