7 Most Dangerous Countries to live in

It’s now easier than ever to visit distant locations around the world. Some places, however, are best avoided due to dangerous conditions. Certain dangerous places, on the other hand, are also desirable tourist destinations. If you do decide to visit such places, you should at least be aware of the risks and take sensible precautions.If you must travel anywhere,make research about the country before going there because you may take a risk that may be life threatening.

1 Russia

A recent study showed a massive rise in crime in Russia during the past 10 years. While official reports show violent crime decreasing by 13 percent in 2010, a research group with the General Prosecutor’s Office Academy estimates that crime is actually rising at a rate of more than two percent per year, because millions of crimes a year are unreported or not prosecuted. In 2016,Russia was also ranked by the World Health Organization as having the highest crime rate amongs 10-29yrs olds. Approximately 5,700 minors are currently serving prison terms in Russia.  Conflicts with former Soviet provinces also contributed to the GPI ranking, including the 2008 conflict with Georgia and 2009’s violent demonstrations in the North Caucasus. Russia also remains a leading weapons manufacturer and exporter.

2.Israel

Strained relations with neighboring countries are responsible in large part for Israel’s ranking.Recent military responce to various external threats has been called into question by the United Nations, which found that Israeli troops broke international law with their use of extreme force against a Gaza aid flotilla. A high likelihood of violent demonstrations, a rise in organized crime, and fairly sophisticated arms manufacturing capabilities are also contributing factors. Additionally, the ongoing conflict with Palestine makes the potential for terrorist acts fairly high.

3. Pakistan

A high number of people killed in internal conflicts and a dramatic rise in the potential for terrorist acts place Pakistan near the top of the dangerous list. Violent demonstrations are increasingly common, and the crime rate has risen exponentially in the past decade — including murder, robbery, kidnappings, and assaults. According to the India-based Institute for Conflict Management, terrorism-related violence resulted in 11,585 deaths in Pakistan in 2009, compared with 6,715 a year earlier and 189 in 2003.now in 2016,it has gotten worse.
4. Sudan
 
Another country where terrorism and violent demonstrations are on the rise, Sudan has had over 2,000 casualties from territorial clashes in 2009. The United Nations estimate that up to 300,000 people have died from the effects of famine, disease, and war since the conflict in Darfur began in 2003, while the Sudanese government puts the number of fatalities closer to 10,000. The GPI also accounts for the number of displaced persons when estimating country rankings, and over 2.5 million people have fled their homes in Darfur alone. Across the country right now, the number of refugees is over 5 million, nearly 13 percent of the Sudan’s population.

5. Afghanistan
 
United Nations estimates for civilian deaths reached 2,400 in Afghanistan in 2009 due to conflict between the Afgan National Army and Taliban-backed insurgents. Up to 2 million Afghanis were displaced, representing over 7 percent of the country’s population. Violence is at an all time high despite the presence of 150,000 NATO-led troops, according to a Pentagon report covering April through September of 2010. Acts of terrorism are common; there were nearly 7,000 reported incidents last year, including suicide and roadside bombings and rocket attacks.

6. Mexico
 
Mexico’s problems with drug traffickers are well known and Ciudad Juarez is one of the nation’s most violent cities right now. Police are often employed or paid off by drug gangs, which means that many crimes go unpunished.
