The most dangerous countries in 2025 ⛔️

Safeture recently released its 2025 report highlighting the countries considered the least safe around the world. These high-risk areas are numerous and raise growing security concerns.

The countries identified as posing a critical risk are mainly located in Africa and the Middle East. In recent years, these regions—marked by armed conflicts, political instability, or humanitarian crises—have also been the primary sources of migratory flows to Europe.

Africa faces significant danger, particularly in sub-Saharan regions. Critical-risk countries include Libya, southern Algeria, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Additionally, Central African Republic, northern Mozambique, northern Kenya, and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo are highly affected. Most of the continent is classified as high or medium risk, except for safer nations like Namibia, Botswana, and Morocco.

The Middle East remains highly volatile. Syria, with the ongoing conflict and unpredictable security conditions, is classified as high risk, along with Yemen, Israel, Afghanistan, western Pakistan, and eastern Iran.

In Asia, Myanmar is the only critical-risk country, while much of India, western China, and parts of Indonesia are considered high risk. Conversely, Japan, South Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, and Australia are among the region’s safest, maintaining stability amid global unrest.

Full ranking:

  • Burkina Faso

  • Central African Republic

  • Lebanon

  • Burma

  • Palestine

  • Somalia

  • Sudan

  • Syria

  • Yemen

Americas: No country is classified as critical risk, but northern and coastal Mexico, along with Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, Guyana, Ecuador’s Pacific coast, and Haiti, are considered high risk. In contrast, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, French Guiana, Costa Rica, Belize, Cuba, the U.S., and Canada are among the safest.

Eastern Europe: Eastern Ukraine and Georgia are critical risk, while the rest of Ukraine is high risk. Russia is classified as medium risk.

Western & Central Europe: The safest countries include Germany, Norway, Finland, Slovenia, Croatia, Switzerland, Portugal, and Ireland. However, security has worsened in France, Spain, and Sweden.

Travel Difficulties & Medical Risks: Afghanistan, Haiti, Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, the Palestinian territories, Somalia, Venezuela, and Yemen are the hardest to visit. Some of the most dangerous cities include Bangui, Beirut, Gaza City, Karachi, Khartoum, Mogadishu, Port Moresby, Port-au-Prince, Sana’a, and Yangon. Additionally, medical infrastructure is severely lacking in countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Haiti, Myanmar, Sudan, Venezuela, and Yemen.

Positive Developments: Despite global instability, some countries have shown improvement, including Argentina (boosted by Javier Milei’s leadership), Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Morocco, and Cuba—offering hope for the future.
