Somalia tops the list of so-called failed states, based on factors including its economy, human rights record and security, a new survey says.
The Fund for Peace andForeign Policy Magazinereleased their 2010 "Failed States Index", on Monday, ranking 177 countries to determine those most at risk of failure. The annual reportuses 12 metrics including security threats, economic implosion, human rights violations and refugee flows.
Since the index was published for the first time in 2005, the top 10 slots have rotated among just 15 countries, and Foreign Policy said it seems that state failure "is a chronic condition". CONTINUE: http://english.aljazeera.net |
