Steps

1. Call get_conflict_events with since_days: 14 (or the window the user asks for) and limit: 0, so event counts are not cut at the default 30 per list. For one country pass country with its English name (for example "Sudan"). For a region pass lat, lon and radius_km. Add min_fatalities: 1 only when the user asks about deadly events; unrest events often record zero or unknown fatalities.
2. Call get_news_intelligence with alerts_only: true. Add country as the ISO alpha-2 code when the question is about one country. If no alert-flagged stories come back, call it again without alerts_only.
3. Group the events by location. For each group give the date range, number of events, best-estimate fatalities and the parties named in the data. If the result reports that output was truncated or simplified, say the counts are partial.
4. Add the news stories that match those locations, with their sources.

Rules

• Fatality counts are best estimates from the source dataset (UCDP or the unrest feed). Say which one, and do not round them into totals the data does not give.
• Say how recent the newest event is. Conflict datasets lag events by hours to days.
• Name sides only as the data names them. Do not assign blame or predict escalation.
• An empty result means World Monitor has no recorded events in that filter, not that the area is calm. Say so.
