Number 15: Russia:
In this crime-ridden, ex-Soviet state, no longer does the government stuff their Armani suits with rubles, but the vandals and gangsters. The Russian mafia runs amuck, there are more gangsters than police, and a Russian is assassinated every 18 minutes, averaging 84 murders per day in a nation of 143 million.
The nucleus of Russian crime is stationed in the Republic of Chechnya, a region within Russia just north of Georgia. Prostitution, drug trafficking, and underground restaurants are arbitrarily controlled by the Chechens. Foreigners are kidnapped more frequently due to the higher ransom allocated. Crimes towards include but are not limited to: pickpocketing wallets, cell phones, cameras, cash, and physical assaults.
From superpower to Third World country, think tanks are beginning to speculate if communism really was the cure for Russia.

Number 14: Brazil:
For anyone traveling to Brazil, it is not a matter of whether you get mugged; it is a matter of when! Grinding poverty still lives alongside incredible wealth in a country that is riding a wave of economic growth. But with prosperity, rates of crime have also soared.
Street crime is rampant in parts of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo, and whilst many victims are left unharmed, having a broken bottle put to your throat for your bracelet is not pleasant. The incidence of “quicknappings” has risen in major cities. This involves being abducted and taken to an ATM to pay your ransom. If you can’t pay, thanks to mobile technology, your family is only a call away. Along with street crime, organized criminal groups have waged wars against police and public institutions that were unable to be bribed.
Prison riots are brutally suppressed, drugs and terrorism claim civilian casualties, and if you survive all that, the piranhas are waiting.
Number 13: South Africa:
Any nation described as the ‘rape capital of the world’ should be one to take extra special care in.
Although rape had shown a declining trend to 113.7 in 2004, it increased in 2005 to 118.3 per 100,000. Another damning statistic for South Africa is its appallingly high murder rate.
Most crime is confined to poor areas, but it hasn’t stopped gated communities springing up all over South Africa and armed guards protecting wealthy tourist groups. Farming in South Africa has become one of the most dangerous professions in the world. The murder rate for farmers is about 8 times the national average.
And like anywhere, sex can be very dangerous in South Africa, where more than 10 million people are infected with HIV.
Number 12: Burundi:
This small, densely populated, and poor nation has giant problems. A civil war between Hutus and Tutsis tore the nation apart between 1993 and 2006.
A ceasefire was declared; however, most provisions have not been implemented. Mass murder and mayhem compete with environmental problems as the biggest headaches for the people of Burundi.
The list of assassinated leaders is extensive, and control of the nation has changed hands numerous times in the last 50 years. Crimes committed by roaming gangs and armed children are risks for visitors.
Muggings, carjackings, and kidnappings await, so you are advised not to stop the car for souvenirs. Should you be injured or harm while in Burundi, you may need to be well trained, as local clinics have almost no resources to assist you.
Number 11: Antarctica:
While murder, rape, and robbery may not be a big problem in this part of the world, the hostile conditions are. Antarctica is home to some extreme weather conditions, with the mercury regularly dropping below -100F and winds tearing in at more than 100 km/hr.
If exposed to this weather for more than an hour, you will most certainly die. Antarctica has no hospitals, no food to forage, and if you get lost, not a lot of hope. Stay with the tour groups. At least there is a McDonald’s at Scott Base if you manage to find it.
Number 10: Afghanistan:
This nation has for hundreds of years been one of the world’s most strategically important and lusted-after territories. However, it remains one of the poorest, undeveloped, and unstable.
During the Soviet invasion, the Red Army planted more than 12 million landmines in Afghanistan. Hundreds of people are killed, shredded, and maimed each year due to these insidious devices. Following the Soviets came the Taliban, whose control meant women were banned from jobs and universities. In 2001, the United States overthrew the Taliban, but banditry, tribal rivalries, and drug-related violence have left the nation unstable.
Suicide bombings are a constant threat, and nobody in Afghanistan is safe. The most lethal suicide attack occurred in Baghlan Province in November 2007, killing more than 70 people.
Did I mention Afghanistan is also the world’s largest supplier of top-grade hashish and opium?
Number 9: Somalia:
Somalia is a failed state known for its anarchy, corruption, lack of government, and starvation. Travelers are warned against entering Somalia, the self-proclaimed “independent Republic of Somaliland,” or even sailing near the Horn of Africa.
Pirates patrol these waters armed with AK47s and will seize craft and hold crews to ransom. Inter-clan fighting has claimed thousands of lives in the north of the country, while territorial control in the capital, Mogadishu, is carved up between many clans and warlords.
Ethiopia attacked Islamic troops in Somalia in late 2006, resulting in hundreds of casualties and the internal displacement of thousands.
If this place is too much for the Marines, what chance do you stand? Make sure your insurance is fully up to date.
Number 8: Sudan:
Desperation, death, and destruction are synonymous with Sudan. Terrorism is a mainstay of this nation, which has been controlled by the country’s military regimes since its independence.
Some of the world’s most famous killers have earned their stripes in Sudan, finishing with degrees in car bombing, rocket launching, and genocide. Violence is rife in government troops and local insurgent groups. Sudan has been in open warfare with Chad partly due to the Darfur conflict. Since 2003, 230,000 Sudanese refugees have fled to eastern Chad from Darfur. More than two million people have died during the two civil wars that spanned the last 50 years.
Along with its bleak desert conditions, Sudan is one of the worst places on the planet.

Number 7: Colombia:
Kidnapping is the main worry in Colombia. There were 2338 kidnappings in Colombia in 1998. Of the victims, 138 were killed by their captors.
Ranked fourth in the world for murders in 2006, the popular targets are mayors, with dozens of them being slain each year. And of course, who can forget cocaine? Colombia supplies 75% of the world’s supply, and thanks to Pablo Escobar and the Cali Cartel, paramilitary groups have waged war on the government in a bloody conflict with no end in sight. Even those working for charity are not excluded from the frenzy. In 2005, 5 Catholic missionaries were murdered, down from 9 in 1999.
Colombia’s beautiful coast and rugged mountains should make it a tourist paradise; instead, it is among the most feared destinations you can visit.
Number 6: Iraq:
It doesn’t matter whether you are George Bush, Pele, or Chuck Norris; you are not safe in Iraq. Despite its rich history and its oil reserves, it is a ruined nation that is wracked with violence, despair, and confusion.
Since 2003, the United States has occupied Iraq, which has led to a civil war claiming the lives of more than 650 000 civilians. Al-Qaeda, Kurdish rebels, American soldiers, Turkish troops, and criminals are involved in a cycle of violence that unfortunately will not abate any time soon. Improvised explosive devices and mines are a constant threat, as are suicide bombers who have slain hundreds. Kidnappings and random killings are reported with almost mind-numbing frequency.
Since 2003, 2 million Iraqis have fled to neighboring countries, and another 1.9 million in Iraq remain internally displaced. Depleted uranium used as armor-piercing rounds will poison Iraqi civilians and US servicemen for decades. Truly, one of the most dangerous places on earth.
Number 5: USA:
Feeling awkward to know? For the average traveler, the USA is fairly safe, but the numbers do not lie. There are more than 200 million guns in the USA and more than 50 murders a day, 10 times the rate of Germany.
Nearly 5000 people die a year in truck crashes, about 6,000 pedestrians die on the streets, and 31000 people end their own lives. American citizens also make up the greatest number of criminals serving time in overseas prisons. Militias, hate groups, and other right-wing radicals all spread their message of violence and are known to throw around the odd pipe bomb.
The government is not much better, spending a whopping $600 billion a year on defense in order to contain the handful of nations hostile to it.
Number 4: Myanmar:
There are real issues of insecurity due to conflicts and government problems. There is insecurity. No personal safety. There are many issues that go unresolved. The government is still very corrupt, disregarding the overall population’s safety and wellbeing. You can’t just go outside and go for a walk wherever or whenever you want.
Crime is rampant due to the economic situation, so one has to take greater care over personal security. Myanmar is doing injustice to the Rohingyas, the Muslim minority of this country.
Number 3: Nigeria:
Nigerians are not really free and cannot walk on the streets. There is always the possibility of danger. Foreigners cannot mingle with the Nigerians. A Rwandan expat complains about the feeling of uncertainty. Almost anything can and might happen to anyone, anywhere, and anytime.
Also the worst-rated country in the categories of travel and transportation, health, and wellbeing. This country has a low risk of medical problems, security, and road safety issues.
Lagos is now the most dangerous city in Nigeria. Living in Lagos is a daily risk you take, according to an international report. Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, has once again made it into the record books for all the wrong reasons.
Number 2: Kenya:
A Danish expat complains that he couldn’t walk on the street because it’s not safe. He had to drive or be driven everywhere. This is not just the only case; foreigners are often taken advantage of through stealing, scamming, and police stopping you just to take money from you.
The roads are awful, traffic is just terrible, and the city is dirty. Once Kenya was, however, among the best destinations for leisure options and personal happiness. These days the quality of life index is very poor. The absence of peacefulness, personal safety, and political stability is clear.
There are issues with crime in major cities, and many government travel advisories warn travelers of the threat of terrorism. Check your government’s travel advice for the latest information if you have any emergency work in Kenya!

Number 1: Egypt:
The worst part is about the government, poor infrastructure, horrendous traffic, poor condition of roads and buildings, and overcrowding. Many of the Egyptian people discriminate and are not friendly.
Many men have no respect for black women and are rather abusive. Also considered unsafe because of political instability, which makes Egypt the number 1 most dangerous place to live in!
Nekhel, a town of 11,000 people in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula. The terrorist group ISIL maintains strong roots throughout the peninsula. Nekhel, Egypt, is literally at the center of the danger zone.
