Template:Year article header

2005 was designated as the International Year for Sport and Physical Education and the International Year of Microcredit. The beginning of 2005 also marked the end of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (1995–2005). Template:TOC limit

Population

The world population on January 1, 2005, was estimated to be 6.545 billion people and increased to 6.629 billion people by January 1, 2006.Template:Sfn An estimated 137.2 million births and 53.4 million deaths took place in 2005.Template:Sfn The average global life expectancy was 68.1 years, an increase of 0.4 years from 2004.Template:Sfn The estimated number of global refugees decreased from 9.54 million to its lowest in 25 years, 8.39 million refugees, by the end of the year.Template:Sfn Afghanistan was the largest source of refugees with approximately 1.9 million people.Template:Sfn

Conflicts

There were 32 conflicts in 2005 that caused at least 25 fatalities, all of which were intrastate wars involving violent non-state actors.Template:Sfn Five of these resulted in over 1,000 fatalities: the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan, the Kashmir insurgency, the Nepalese Civil War, and the Colombian conflict.Template:Sfn[1] Among continuing conflicts from previous years, the Iraqi insurgency meant further violence in Iraq throughout 2005, including a major suicide bombing on February 28 and a series of attacks as the Iraqi Transitional Government was established in April and May.Template:Sfn The Second Chechen War in Russia saw the assassination of Chechen rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov by Russian forces on March 8,Template:Sfn and the Kivu conflict and Ituri conflict continued in the Democratic Republic of the Congo despite the formal end of the Second Congo War in 2002.Template:Sfn

The government of Myanmar broke its 2003 ceasefire with the Karen National Union in January, and it engaged in heightened conflict with the Shan State Army (RCSS) in April.Template:Sfn The frozen conflict between Azerbaijan and the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh also reignited as a 1994 ceasefire collapsed.Template:Sfn In Sri Lanka, peace talks broke down with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.Template:Sfn Peace talks took place to end the Second Intifada between Israel and Palestine, which were complicated by attacks from Palestinian militant groups and subsequent Israeli retaliation.Template:Sfn Hezbollah also engaged in conflict with Israel, causing violence in Golan Heights and on the Israel–Lebanon border.Template:Sfn New rebel groups that emerged in 2005 included the Rally for Democracy and Liberty in Chad, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland in India, the Kurdistan Free Life Party in Iran, and the Maoist Communist Party in Turkey.Template:Sfn

The Comprehensive Peace Agreement between Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement was signed on January 9, ending the Second Sudanese Civil War.Template:Sfn The other conflict in Sudan, the War in Darfur, remained active with heavy targeting of civilians and aid workers.Template:Sfn The First Ivorian Civil War remained frozen as a fragile ceasefire held between Ivory Coast and the Forces Nouvelles de Côte d'Ivoire while peace negotiations stalled.Template:Sfn The Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan remained mostly peaceful, though militant groups carried out occasional attacks.Template:Sfn
