No country on earth can guarantee your safety and claim that there is zero crime rate. Few countries can put in better measures and find a way to keep their citizens safe from all the violence. Various elements are responsible for crime rates, and if you are looking to spend a peaceful vacation, we will discuss a few unsuitable countries. When it comes to the safety factor, there are several factors that you should inspect. If we discuss women’s safety, you can visit India’s worst country. A survey conducted by global experts found out about these statistics. While going through the data, you must not immediately connect it with high violence if you have stumbled upon a country with a much lower index. Now, without any further adieu, we will dive into the list of the five least safe countries.
Libya
The country indulged in a longer than a year conflict with the armed groups, resulting in more than hundreds of civilian casualties. Hundreds of thousands of families were dislocated, and hundreds are still missing. Though the war has ended, the country still faces several unrest and instability. For all travelers, Libya comes with a ‘hazardous’ warning.
Somalia
You must have heard numerous brutal stories in the form of books and movies. The country remains in conflict with US armed forces, and the country’s warlords have access to deadly equipment. The States have identified the country under the ‘do not travel’ category, and if you are planning, we highly recommend talking to the experts before booking your tickets. The land comes with a high number of violent crimes.
Syria
Though the country has a much improved political situation, several aspects still play a role in obstruction when it comes to the safety of its citizens. Syria has also faced a massive economic downfall due to all the violence that it goes through. Also, the country is going through the biggest refugee crisis.
Afghanistan
If we discuss the IEP index, Afghanistan retained the most dangerous country for travelers. The work has remained constant for five years now. The primary reason behind this is the involvement of the Taliban, which has now completely occupied the country and has a track record of conducting numerous terror attacks. Not just violence, the government also has a vast number of cases of human rights violations.
Congo
We had to include Congo as the dispute with Zambia is ever-growing and has a significant impact on the economy and peace of the country. The violence because of a disputed territory has consumed more than 9% of the GDP. The cases of armed robbery have also gone up quite a bit. The primary reason behind it is the lack of resources for the authorities to implement effective control measures. The countries that stand on the lower index numbers will impose greater risk on all travelers and citizens. These countries are just the top ones that are the most dangerous, and we highly recommend not to make your plans around the one. Also, the countries listed here are not occupied by violence. Certain regions are affected; however, if you are planning to visit, you must go through thorough research.
