Only few I wouldn't visit are Somalia, South Sudan, Chad and at the moment Congo although there's a volcano in Congo that I really want to see. Have no desire to go to a few others but not because of safety reasons.
I've read quite a bit about Sudan, there's certain regions that are unsafe, mostly around the South Sudan border but other than that it seems fine. Nothing there to see or do really but if I ever do the Africa trip that I want I'll have to pass through it.
The post that was quoted here has been removedI think it's unfair to have South Sudan on the list, it's just became a country. Of course it's going to take some time. Also Iraq is only struggling because of America, Afghanistan as well. Plus where the hell is Israel on that list? Surely a country just by it's creation that has caused countless wars should be considered a 'failed state'.
I read on another site that Nigeria were seen as an up and coming power.... not bad for a failed state.
The list is subject to change no doubt, possible 'failing state' would be fairer than 'failed state'.
