The Most Dangerous Places

The countries listed have several things in common. War or civil strife has shredded their economies, their police forces are corrupt or non-existent and some even harbor elements of terrorist regimes such as Al Qaeda or the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. According to Stratton, "the most dangerous environments are found in failed states where there has been a total or partial breakdown in governance and, therefore, in law and order. Criminals and terrorists can operate with virtual impunity, and the state affords no protection to Western companies and their personnel.

Most dangerous destinations for travellers (Employees of high-profile companies in the security-consulting or defense sectors expect to put their lives at risk on a regular basis).

My Country not part of it! (Thank God). But the thing is, Philippines most dangerous country for journalist. Not good at all for country's image. Just recently journalist Klein Cantoneros was gunned down

It's tough to be in place (plague with war and terror[ist]) doing business or just trying to earn your keep because your life could end by just trigger of a gun or worse a rocket propelled grenade.
