20 most dangerous countries on Earth

It is no secret that some countries are better suited for tourism than others, and one of the evaluation criteria in this case is security.

Recently, the World Economic Forum published its report on tourism competitiveness, which analyzed the tourism sector in 136 countries. As part of this report, experts rated the security of each country. The following ranking presents the most dangerous states for travelers, in which there is a very high risk of suffering from internal (and external) military conflicts, violence and terrorism. When compiling the rating, minor crimes were not taken into account.

Democratic Republic of the Congo

In many parts of the state, the Congolese armed forces are active, as well as other armed groups and bandit groups. The situation in Congo is very tense.

Thailand

The most dangerous are the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla. Over the past 13 years, violence in these areas has claimed more than 6,500 lives.

Jamaica

Crime and executions continue to flourish in Jamaica.

South Africa

The highest crime rate in South Africa forces many locals to hire guards. Rape and murder are very common here.

Guatemala

High levels of killings, drug trafficking and armed robberies - all this has persisted for many years in Guatemala.

Chad

ISIS, Al Qaeda and Boko Haram are active in Chad.

Bangladesh

The threat of terrorist attacks and extreme weather conditions make Bangladesh a dangerous country.

Mali

In this state, the risk of terrorist attacks is extremely high.

Lebanon

Several extremist groups operate here, so terrorist attacks often occur.

Philippines

In addition to frequent shooting, the main danger is kidnapping. Especially often the victims of abduction are foreigners.

Ukraine

In the southeastern regions of the country engulfed in a fierce struggle.

Honduras

This country has some of the highest homicide rates in the world.

Kenya

This country has a high level of terrorist threat.

Egypt

ISIS and other extremist groups pose a serious threat to public places.

Venezuela

The lack of the essentials for life - water, food, medical care and electricity - has led to extremely high levels of crime and violence throughout the country.

Nigeria

For the most part, violence in this country is on the conscience of the extremist groups Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West Africa. Often, their attacks target densely populated areas, schools, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues.

Pakistan

For many years, Pakistan has been languishing under the weight of religious conflict. Here, freedom of speech is also very limited, and foreigners are denied access to many places.
