Do you agree Sudan is worse than Somalia, Iraq, Haiti and Afghanistan? Somalia came a joint 6th with Chad.

"I do not believe that Sudan is more failed than Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan"

said Amin from Toronto (in have your say @ BBC).

Here is the list of FAILED STATES 2006 - TOP 10

1. Sudan (3)*
2. DR Congo (2)*
3. Ivory Coast (1)*
4. Iraq (4)*
5. Zimbabwe (15)*
6. Chad (7)*
(Tie) Somalia (5)*
8. Haiti (10)*
9. Pakistan (34)*
10. Afghanistan (11)*

Waa cajiib! these people must be more optomistic about our homeland than we are.. Shocked

all the countries above us are certainly more united internally and probably have natiional and functioning institutions at least I know---Iraq, sudan, Zimbabwe and Ivory coast do.

Somalia should be placed in 7th place, It's not as crucial as some of the places beneath it. especially places like Haiti.

"Each nation was given an overall score based on the 12 criteria:



1) mounting demographic pressures

2) massive movement of refugees and internally displaced peoples

3) legacy of vengeance - seeking group grievance

4) chronic and sustained human flight

5) uneven economic development along group lines

6) sharp and/or severe economic decline

7) criminalisation and delegitimisation of the state

Cool progressive deterioration of public services

9) widespread violation of human rights

10) security apparatus as "state within a state"

11) rise of factionalised elites

12) intervention of other states or external actors"

I find it hard to grasp too.

Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing That list is a joke. How can any1 put Pakistan on the same list with Afghanistan and Somalia. Most of the countries on the list are experiecing internal turmoil but the only failed state on thre are Somalia and Afghanistan. The rest have some sort of functioning government which at least fully controlly parts of its country.

Mowhawk I am not so sure your father Ernie Dingo Laughing Laughing would appreciate your concern for Sudans. Having been brought up with the aboroginals one would assume you are savage just like them.
Subxanalaah I saw how they punish those that break the law. I secretly made a Duca they would punish lionheart in such a manner it would be delightful to watch. Laughing wouldnt you agree? I would laugh when his face gets axed.
