There are countries in the world where local people and even more so tourists feel uncomfortable. These are mostly countries with high level of crime such as murder, robbery in the streets, corruption, hostage-taking, terrorism, and so on. But tourists enamored by local beauty sometimes do not even think about it.
The influential magazine Forbes has compiled a rating of the most dangerous countries. The vast majority of them are in Africa.
6. Gaza Strip. Israeli military operation ended in January 2009, but air strikes on Gaza still continue.
7. Yemen. The country has militaristic groups associated with al-Qaeda. In addition, the state's oil reserves are being depleted rapidly, which can cause further deterioration of the situation in the country.
10. Nigeria. In the most populous African country rich in oil criminal gangs are operating and rebels abduct locals and foreigners.
