There are some countries that are known for their excellent infrastructure, their friendly people, low crime rates and culture. But some countries are infamous for their wars and insurgencies, for their crimes, their worsening relationships with neighboring countries and their political imbalances. This is a list of such infamous countries, where you must avoid living.
Israel
With several pressing issues with neighboring countries, turmoil between local groups, political instability and likelihood of violence, Israel ranks first on this list. The country is currently facing terror issues owing to political imbalances and has open conflicts with several neighboring countries including Lebanon and Syria. With lesser military capabilities, it fails to protect itself.
Pakistan
With so much of political drama unfolding every day, corrupt politicians, religious terror outfits and regular violent demonstrations, Pakistan ranks second on this list. The country faces several pivotal issues, including problems like human rights violation, crime against women and conflicts with neighboring countries like Afghanistan and India. Pakistan is also on bad terms with United States, especially after it was accused for deliberately serving as Osama Bin Laden’s hideout.
Iraq
Since US led invasion of Iraq, the country has become one of the least livable countries in the world. Facing turmoil, protests and violence, Iraq is probably the least peaceful country in the Middle East. Extremists roam around large and the political system is shady, full of high level corruption. Moreover, the number of refugees is staggering and over 9.4 percent of the population is internally displaced.
Afghanistan
Search most of the countries’ official websites and you will be advised that you shouldn’t travel to Afghanistan until it’s absolutely avoidable. Every day civilians are killed, kidnapped or murdered due to Taliban led insurgency. More than 3 million people seek refugee or are internally displaced. The domestic conflict is so large that the GDP is one of the lowest in the world. Violence and terrorism is at its peak. If you love you life, then this is the country you must avoid for a while.
Sudan
With thousands of refugees and internally displaced people, Sudan ranks fifth on this list. The Sudanese government is known for its political imbalances and is under the controversy for assisting militants. Violent disputes in this country are rampant. Relations with other countries is poor and terror ranks high. Their President Omar al Bashir has been alleged for war crimes. The country’s population is fighting for their liberation and rights.
