Most dangerous places

There are many dangerous places in the world (not just violence, just dangerous in general). I looked up some of the most dangerous places that you can possibly go to. I found a lot of “Top Ten” lists. Here are some of the places that were most frequently on these lists and a little bit about why they are on these lists.
o Russia- There are more mobsters than police, 84 murders a day here , and kidnapping are some of the issues for this country.
o Brazil- Mugging, kidnapping, poverty, drugs, that about describes Brazil.
o South Africa- Also known as the “rape capital of the world”, unusually high murder rates, and the AIDS problem quickly has been spiraling out of control.
o Burundi- A recent civil war, mass murders and environmental problems are just some of the issues for this country. Others include muggings, carjacking, kidnappings, and gangs.
o Afghanistan- Bombing and land mines are a huge issue here, along with the war.
o Somalia- This country is known for its anarchy, corruption. Lack of government and starvation.
o Sudan- Terrorism is Sudan’s largest problem currently with over 2 million citizens dying in its two most recent wars.
o Colombia- Kidnapping is the biggest issue in Colombia. There are over 2338 known kidnappings in a one year period, with a high number of them being eventually murdered. Another big problem there is the drugs.
o Iraq- We all know why Iraq isn’t safe, with the current ongoing war there obviously.
o United States- It feels safe to us, but according to the numbers, there are more than 200 million guns in the U.S., and more than 50 murders a day. 5,000 people die a year in vehicle accidents, about 6,000 pedestrians die on the streets, and about 31,000 people end their own lives. The U.S. now leads all nations in violent crime. American citizens also make up the greatest number of criminals serving time in overseas prisons.
