Read it. Is like cheerful world politics with statistics. Highlights include:

Fatalities from terrorism have declined by some 40 percent

The Brief also describes and analyses the extraordinary, but largely unnoticed, positive change in sub-Saharan Africa's security landscape. The number of conflicts being waged in the region more than halved between 1999 and 2006; the combat toll dropped by 98 percent.

The number of military coups has also continued to decline, as have the number of campaigns of deadly violence waged against civilians.

Unless you plan to set up concentration camps for those who put e before i, except in sleigh, weigh and whatever the other one is, of course.
