A trend of coups that began in 2020 in the region once infamously known as "the coup belt", continued this year. Armed conflict loomed large across the continent, especially in Somalia, Nigeria, Mozambique, Burkina Faso and Mali.

This could set a precedent of paving the way for a successful and sustainable peace. Here's a look back at some of the wars that made headlines in Africa.
