Rating from the International Institute for Economics and peace.
International Institute of Economics and peace every year is the updated Global index of the world. Focusing on several main criteria, the scientists of the Institute constitute a rating of “peace and security” in 162 major countries of the world. Just to calculate this ranking, uses 22 factors — among others, play an important role in the number of external and internal conflicts, relations with neighboring countries, the political position of the state, terrorist activities on its territory, the number of murders, prisons and nuclear potential of the country.
The project started in 2007 — over the past few years, the most peaceful and peace-loving country has always been Iceland. The list of States in which the tension is constantly growing, varies from year to year. In 2015 the top 10 most dangerous countries of the 162 that hit Russia. We publish information about our neighbors from this, frankly, pretty disappointing rating.
Russia
Tenth place
Russia got to ten the most dangerous to visit and stay States for 2015. A key role in this, as the researchers suggest, played a military conflict.
Nigeria
Ninth place
Nigeria is the largest state of the Black continent, having, thus, a rather small territory. Here constantly there are seizures of foreign citizens: local residents perceive it as a legitimate way to increase their income. Besides, there are very active groups of rebels carrying out attacks on the development of international corporations.
Republic Of The Congo
Eighth place
A former French colony in Central Africa can be considered one of the most developed countries of the continent. However, the average life expectancy is only 54 years, and throughout the country and then break out small but enough of a bloody uprising.
Pakistan
Seventh place
Pakistan is considered quite a modern and developed country which even has its own nuclear program. But since the beginning of 2000-ies, one of the regions of the country, Waziristan has been a stronghold of the terrorist group Taliban. At the moment, officially, the government announced a policy of ruthless destruction of all militants on its territory, however, tourism here is still considered to be the safest on the planet.
Somalia
Sixth place
As a result of the actions of the separatists, the Federal Republic of Somalia is actually broken up into several parts. A large part of the territory controlled by the so-called field commanders, who are feuding with each other. Most independent sources to assess the situation in the country as anarchy and infamous actions of the Somali pirates make ships of all Nations around the world to local waters.
Sudan
Fifth place
At the beginning of the two thousandth, against the official government of the Sudan were two of the terrorist group: “Darfur liberation Front” and the Sudanese liberation movement. The whole situation turned gradually into a real African genocide of civilians living in the area. Therefore it is not surprising a relatively high rating, which ranked this country in the list of most unsafe countries in the world.
Central African Republic
Fourth place
This small state is one of the most sparsely populated in the whole Black Continent. The average life expectancy is just 48 years, and almost 10% of the population are carriers of the HIV virus. Tourists rarely visit this country — which is understandable, since, according to the ratings of many independent agencies, there are frequent cases of robbery and kidnapping.
Afghanistan
Third place
Afghanistan is officially considered one of the poorest countries around the world. Since 1978 not here to stop the civil war. According to the report of the UN office on drugs and crime, no country in the history of civilization produced many drugs as modern Afghanistan.
Iraq
Second place
Since the withdrawal of U.S. troops, which occurred in late 2011, the country is growing political instability and religious tension — all this against the backdrop of frequent terrorism. International experts believe that Iraq is very close to civil war status.
Syria
The first place
The actions of the militants in the country brought her to first place in the sad rating of the most dangerous countries in the world. Throughout the country there are constant clashes with militant Islamist groups who are trying to achieve full power in the state. Terrorist group “Islamic state” has all the chances for the establishment of their Caliphate, if Syria does not receive massive aid from the developed countries.
