Geo-World: Conflict & Social Unrest February Update

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict displayed some improvement during February, thanks to the Minsk II agreement. However, the situation is still fragile. The international coalition continued to fight ISIS in the Middle East with some victories in the ground (Kobane), but conflicts are still alive in other parts of Syria and Iraq and risks to spill-over to North Africa (Libya and Egypt) have increased. Social unrest has relaxed in Europe and geopolitical tensions in East Asia remained contained.
