According to the Apsala Conflict Data Program...
Fatalities from a growing number of conflicts rose to nearly a quarter of a million last year.
The deadliest violence were massacres in a city in Sudan's western region of Darfur.
It pushed one-sided violence in Africa to its highest levels since the Rwandan genocide in 1994.
More than 60,000 people were killed in the city of Al-Fashir by the rapid support forces at war with Sudan's army for the last three years.
The RSF had launched a brutal 18-month siege on the city before it took it over last October.
The violence against African ethnic groups bore the hallmarks of a genocide, according to the UN.

Analysis from the Conflict Insights Group shows how Colombian mercenaries were deployed from multiple military bases, including in the UAE, to support the Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF.
And documents show the Colombian mercenaries were deployed by a UAE-based company with close ties to senior Emirati government officials.
The UAE has denied mounting evidence that it supports the RSF.
The group took over the city of Al-Fashir in October last year after a brutal 18-month siege on the regional capital.
According to human rights groups, tens of thousands of people were killed by the RSF and allied Arab militias in the city in some of the worst crimes of the more than three years' civil war.

Dozens of children were among the dead, killed by a landslide at the Rubaiya mine after heavy rains.
Fatal incidents are common in the DRC, one of the most mineral-rich countries in the world, where international corporations have major investments, but where child labour, exploitative and unsafe conditions are systemic.
The Rubaya mine was on a list of assets recently offered by the DRC government to the US as part of a mineral deal with the Trump administration.
The mine is controlled by the M23 rebel group, which has taken over much of eastern DRC.
This week, the US government sanctioned neighbouring Rwanda's military for actively supporting, training and fighting alongside the M23 rebel group.
