Peace and safety are the most important things that are needed for the citizens residing in any country. Global Travel and Tourism Report by the World Economic Forum ranked Pakistan the fourth most unsafe country in the world. Finland is ranked the safest country in the world, had a score of 6.7. The report found that the safest countries were in Europe. The bottom of the list was dominated by countries in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Finland is followed by Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as the safest countries in the world.
1. Nigeria.
Nigeria has been a victim of ethnic violence because of its diverse ethno-linguistic groups. The country has been witnessing sectarian violence by Islamist movement Boko Haram that seeks to abolish secular system of government and establish Sharia law. Thousands have been killed by religious violence in Nigeria. In May 2014 Benin, Chad, Cameroon and Niger joined Nigeria in a united effort to combat Boko Haram in the aftermath of the 2014 Chibok kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls.
2. Columbia.
Colombia is one of the gateways to drug-trafficking routes into the US, with the nation producing a substantial portion of the world’s cocaine. The prevalence of drug gangs makes the nation extremely dangerous. The low-intensity uneven war between the Colombian government, paramilitary groups, crime syndicates, and left-wing guerrillas such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and ELN is deeply affecting the development of this country.
3. Yemen.
Yemen faces a growing humanitarian crisis, with nearly half the population lacking sufficient food, according to UN agencies. Conflict-related abuses, legally sanctioned discrimination against women, judicial executions of child offenders, and non-accountability for the previous government’s human rights violations all persisted.
4. Pakistan.
Pakistan has been facing religious extremism and sectarian violence. Terror outfits like the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen and the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan are a threat to the citizens of Pakistan. Pakistan is the country most affected by terrorism in the world after Iraq, but if the severity of the incidents is considered, it even surpasses the Middle Eastern nation.
5. Venezuela.
Like Colombia, Venezuela is one of the gateways to drug-trafficking routes into the US. The country has witnessed widespread food shortages and a lack of basic amenities for many people. This, in turn, has led to growing violence.
6. Egypt.
Egypt has been in political turmoil since the overthrow of military dictator Hosni Mubarak during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution and later under Morsi, the country’s first democratically elected president. Morsi’s term was plagued by political uncertainty and violence in a deeply polarised country that ultimately led to his ouster by the powerful military.
7. Guatemala.
Guatemala is a Central American nation plagued by the drug-trafficking industry. In 2015, Guatemala reported an average of 91 murders a week. It has one of the highest violent crime rates in Central America.
8. El Salvador.
Gang wars are the main reason that this country has made into the list. Rapes, kidnappings, murders, muggings, beatings, car-jacking, extortion, drug-trafficking and arms-deals are major threats in this country.
9. Honduras.
In 2015, Honduras had a homicide rate of 60 per 100,000 inhabitants, one of the highest in the world. The country is dominated by violent street gangs, including the two most powerful in the country, Mara Salvatrucha and Barrio 18.
10. Thailand.
This country has experienced a lot of terrorist attacks in the recent past. Gang wars another major issue. Robberies, kidnapping and murders have also increased at a brisk rate. A Southeast Asian militant Islamist terrorist group, Jemaah Islamiah is responsible for spreading terrorism in the country.
