Abstract

Security is a state where values, beliefs, democratic way of life, institutions of governance, welfare and well-being as a nation and people are permanently protected. There are many ways to predict threats which can affect this state of security [1]. The present study aimed at finding a way to predict armed conflicts in Sudan using decision trees. The main problem in this paper is that the armed confrontations are difficult to predict, because there are many elements interfere in deciding whether the conflict will be triggered or not. So this paper solved this problem using Decision tree.
