The World’s Most Dangerous Countries to Travel to

Some countries are more unfortunate than others to be hit by natural disasters, by terrorists or by nuclear warfare. Such countries have now become dangerous places to visit, because of the fear of being killed, to find oneself in the midst of a social upheaval or a natural calamity like the tsunami. There are dangerous diseases like the avian flu and the black plague, there are dangerous human beings like Attila the Hun and Osama bin Laden and there are natural dangers to human beings from the tsunami and Mount Vesuvius.

Today’s most dangerous countries to travel would be those where there is bloodshed and terror. Iraq is a frightening example, and countries like Afghanistan and Zimbabwe are being destroyed by terrorism, oppression, poverty and death. Since death is a common factor in such countries, there are no rules of law and education holds no importance.

Haiti has become a dangerous place to visit; there are continuous demonstrations and confrontations between armed groups. Looting is rampant and there is random violent crime with kidnapping, carjacking and assault. Nigeria is equally prone to violent crimes. There is a total lack of law and order and there is a constant tension between various religious communities and rival ethnic groups. Road travel is dangerous in Nigeria, as there are many road robberies.

In Saudi Arabia there has been a lot of terrorist activity. Westerners have often been attacked here by gunmen and terrorist groups. Indonesia is also unpopular for American tourists because of the violence and terrorist actions there against the Americans. Besides, the tsunami hit the country extensively in 2004, and tourists have reduced there drastically.

Security threat in a country like Yemen is very high. Terrorist activities are common and groups or extremist individuals may attack westerners. Violence related to illegal drug trade is high in Colombia, and most of the violent activity there is by narcoterrorist groups. Lebanon has been totally destroyed by warfare, there are landmines everywhere and it is risky to visit the country now.

The Central African Republic is governed by rebel forces. Armed robberies along the roads are common, and it has become totally unsafe to travel freely. In Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, the threat of violence is very high. And in the Democratic Republic of Congo the ongoing military operations have somehow brought more violence into the country. There are a large number of vehicle thefts, extra-judicial killings, rapes, kidnappings and ethnic tensions.

Pakistan has seen a lot of massacre in the past few months, so tourists are afraid of venturing there. The political unrest and the various terrorist activities are making the survival of the Pakistanis difficult. Even Kyrgyzstan is untouched by tourists because of the political instability of the country.

However, in all these countries the employees of multinational corporations and nongovernmental organizations are still going. Of course they risk their lives if they visit one of the world’s most dangerous countries, but they do their research first and train themselves before they travel.
