These Are the World's Least Peaceful Nations


Afghanistan:

The world's largest producer of opium, Afghanistan comes down in the second spot. This is mainly attributed to the rise in military expenditure as a percentage of GDP, which, at 13.8 percent, is high by global standards. It is one of the highly effected countries, riding high on the index.

A lot has gone down in Afghanistan since the invasion, like the fall of the Taliban government, the Taliban insurgency and killing of the founder and leader of the Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden. The country is also plagued by civil unrest and violent Islamic extremism. Landmines, political unrest, frequent bombings, continual terrorist attacks, and high risk of kidnapping are some forms of violence going on in Afghanistan.

Somalia:

A country located in the Horn of Africa, Somalia includes itself in the list of the least peaceful nation. This is mainly because of widespread lack of law, ineffective government, terrorism, insurgency, crime, and well-publicized pirate attacks against foreign vessels.

It is one such country in the world which has been torn by conflict for over 4 decades since its independence. This war-torn state has resulted in enormous casualties and abuses of civilians, perpetrated by the conflicts.
