  abstract = {{T}his article deals with the political issues of excess mortality due 'to conflicts. {B}ased on a case-study from {N}igeria, it addresses two main points. {T}he first has to do with the methodological possibilities to measure the intensity and the human impact of armed conflicts. {I}n the context of developing countries where official statistics are not reliable and/or not available because they are not published, it argues that violent deaths are the prime indicators that can be used. {T}he second point addresses the methodological difficulties to define precisely political violence. {I}t underlines the problems of resorting to categories like civilians and combatants, public and private actors, criminal politicians and politicized criminals, etc. {I}n this regard, it appears that crime statistics can also be politicized. {T}hus it is very necessary to establish a proper methodology before undertaking any assessment of risk and the human impact of armed conflicts.},
