📊 war: ucdp check

[lucasrodes]

I imported the candidate events dataset by UCDP in #3359.

Bastian has reported that some of the estimates for 2024 seem very low on our end. He's checked with the source data, which seems fine. Therefore, we need to investigate why we have this low values.

Strategy

• Get newer values by UCDP and see if the values increases => This would mean that the error wan on their end.
• If the above doesn't solve it, we have introduced an error! Proposal: Take a closer look at a specific country & year, e.g. Palestine@2024.

With a first look, I realized that I had only imported events corresponding to August 2024. I hadn't realized that the export by UCDP only included monthly exports.

UCDP clarifies this in their codebook:

I'll proceed to add the currently latest available files:

• January - September 2024
• October 2024
