No place is safe in this world. However, there are some countries which are totally unsafe to live. World Economic Forum (WEF) came up with Global Travel and Terrorism Report which listed down the countries on the basis of peace and safety. Here are the 10 unsafe countries in the world that you should definitely know.
1. Syria
Syria which is the most dangerous country in the world have carried out several attacks that includes bombardment of civilian residential areas and medical facilities with artillery, barrel bombs and chemical weapons. It was reported that there were the deaths of 250,000 people, forced 7.6 million people to become internally displaced and led 4.6 million people to become refugees abroad.
2. Afghanistan
Afghanistan has seen growing insecurity with lot many criminal activities. Internal conflicts made tens of thousands of people to leave the place. The majority of the people did not receive any humanitarian assistance from the government.
3. South Sudan
During an outbreak of violence between 8 and 12 July in 2016, hundreds of people were killed in South Sudan and more than 200 people were raped.
“The fighting that erupted in July 2016 was a serious setback for peace in South Sudan and showed just how volatile the situation in the country is, with civilians living under the risk of mass atrocities,” said the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein
4. Iraq
The armed group Islamic State (IS) carried out mass execution-style killings and abductions, including abductions of women and girls for sexual slavery.
5. Somalia
According to a United Nations’ recent report, Somalia is suffering from extreme drought conditions that have left thousands of people facing severe food and water shortages. Over three million people lack access to emergency health services and require improved access to water, sanitation and hygiene and more than five million people are in need of relief.
“Immediate support is required to prevent a significant deterioration of the humanitarian situation,” said Peter de Clercq, the humanitarian coordinator for Somalia.
6. Sudan
Government forces have committed serious attacks against civilians in the last two years, including widespread killings, rape and destruction of property, in the conflicts in Darfur, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile states.

Depends on how you look at danger. Danger varies from wars to disasters.
In terms of conflict
According to the GPI (Global Peace Index), Syria ranks the lowest in terms of “peace” (due to their conflict). Followed by South Sudan, and Iraq.
GPI by map;
In terms of terror
According to CTI (Country Threat Index), which analyzed the act of terrorism in each countries; Iraq scored the highest in terms of terrorism over the past 2 month, scoring over than 1000 acts.

In terms of healthiness
An unhygienic/unhealthy country is a dangerous country too after all. You’ll get a higher risk of being ill. According to SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) index, these are the most unhealthy country according to different terms.
Hunger (GHI/ Global Hunger Index): Central African Republic
Poor Health and Poor Well-being: Sierra-Leone
Unhygienic Water & Sanitation: Democratic Republic of Congo
In terms of natural hazards
According to the WRR (World risk report) index, Vanuatu ranks 1st as the most vulnerable nation towards the natural disasters (which includes earthquakes, storms, floods, and droughts).

According to the Mexican Citizens Council for Public Security, Latin America is home to forty one of the the fifty most violent cities with Brazil alone hosting 21 violent cities. (The 2016 Olympics should be interesting). The violence is attributed to drug trafficking, political instability, rival gang war fare and deregulation of economies without adequate socio-economic support networks.
World Atlas identifies a similar list.
The lists do not take into account war zones or cities with fewer than 300,000 residents.
The US has four cities on the list (New Orleans, Detroit, St Lois and Baltimore) while Europe has none that top the list. South Africa is home to four of the world’s most violent cities with no other African countries represented.
The link between violence/ danger and cycles of poverty, political instability and corruption is apparent but not altogether clear cut since many of the world’s poorest countries are not on the list.
Other factors that probably influence levels of violence and danger may be demographics (young age populations), levels of gun control, access to weapons, value placed on female leadership in communities, cultural values that are more tolerant of violent resolution of conflict versus strong social pressure to find peaceful resolution, historical quirks, religious dogmas, and strength of informal economies.

Right now , it should be Syria.
the country is witnessing some cruel violence and civil war.
The war is for power between Syrian government, Al-nusra, ISIS and other rebels.
470,000 have been killed till Feb 2016 since it began and millions have been forced to take refugee in other countries.
The violence has also triggered the crime rates in the country. Also people are dying of starvation, as whole country burns in the fire for power.
May god bring peace and happiness again there.

As we all know, Earth is not a safe place, and some parts are more dangerous than others.
The most dangerous countries currently are those with bloody conflicts have taken a toll on the nation.
These nations include places like,
Syria
Iraq
Afghanistan
Ukraine
Both Sudans
Somalia
Yemen
The Central African Republic
However, it isn’t just war torn countries that are unsafe.
Nations with high homicide rates and dense populations such as Honduras and El Salavdor are very dangerous places. Heck, even certain parts of norally safe countries aren’t as lucky as some othe parts. (Detroit and Rio for example)
There are places where enviormental disasters have made death and dispalcement at a higher probablity. Two notable examples are the small island nations of the Maldives and Kirabati, who have been sinking away from the rising sea levels caused by Climate Change.
Then there are the countries where opposing the government results in death, such as North Korea.
Anywhere can be dangerous but some are more dangerous than others.

Dangerous in what sense?
Dangerous to other countries or dangerous to visit?
If you mean dangerous to other countries then it’s
(Yeah, the good old US of A)
The USA is just itching to “Liberate” everybody.
On the other hand there are plenty of countries that aren’t safe to visit. Planning a family trip to Syria or Afghanistan is probably a bad idea.
As for “Most dangerous” that my friend is a matter of opinion 😉

Undoubtedly my vote goes to GUATEMALA City.
Warning Content below is not for sensitive people.
High crime rate, high trafficking and high corruption. Laws and police are not strong and effective that’s why crimes like robbery, kidnapping and even murdur are common in this city
