| Afghanistan, the World's 7th Fragile State |
| 2014-06-27 |
| [Tolo News] Afghanistan is declared as the seventh failed state in terms of good governance by the Fund for Peace (FFP) organization. FFP--an independent, nonpartisan, non-profit research and educational organization-- works to prevent violent conflict and promote sustainable security in the world. The organization has issued a new index of the world's most fragile states, with South Sudan topping the list and Afghanistan taking the seventh place. The organization assesses countries in terms of human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... , external interference, government credibility, social services, capabilities of security institutions and religious wars. FFP has stated that despite massive international investments, Afghanistan still constitutes as the world's most unstable country. The report discusses administrative corruption, drug smuggling and extremism as the biggest challenges in Afghanistan. Afghanistan was on the same category during the previous year's report. According to the report, there has been no visible, drastic change in the lives of the people and good governance still does not exist in the country. |
