Ethiopia Ranked 18th Among World Failed States

The annual Failed States Index puts Ethiopia in 18th place among 177 countries.



See report online

June 18 (Reuters) - Sudan and Iraq topped an independent ranking of the world's leading failed states released on Monday by Foreign Policy magazine and the Fund for Peace.

The annual Failed States Index ranked 177 countries according to 12 social, economic, political and military indicators based on data from thousands of publicly available sources.

The authors of the index said one of the leading benchmarks for failed state status is the loss of physical control of territory or a monopoly on the legitimate use of force, the erosion of legitimate authority, an inability to provide reasonable public services and the inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community.

Foreign Policy magazine is published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington-based think tank. The Fund for Peace is an independent research group devoted to preventing and resolving conflicts.

Foreign Policy Magazine

States of Disorder
Somalia, hostage to factional fighting between warlords for more than 15 years, convulsed with violence in 2006, when short-lived stability installed by the Union of Islamic Courts was upended by the invasion of Ethiopian troops in favor of an interim government. Over the years, refugees from the fighting have spilled into Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Kenya, destabilizing a large portion of the Horn of Africa.

Following are the 10 most unstable countries listed in the index:

1) Sudan

2) Iraq

3) Somalia

4) Zimbabwe

5) Chad

6) Ivory Coast

7) Democratic Republic of the Congo

8) Afghanistan

9) Guinea

10) Central African Republic

Ethiopia is sinking under the weyane leadership. Ethiopia ranked 26 last year. Now a new low 18. The way things are going, we will top Sudan soon.

The annual Failed States Index puts Ethiopia in 18th place among 177 countries.this shows that how the country is running by tplf thugs.it is a matter of time that Ethiopia will become the most stable country in the world once we wiped out all criminals from our country.we have a great culture and values to get back to where we were before this criminals took power by force. creating fear to stay in power should not be tolerated in our contry.enough is enough.

It is a typical western propaganda. Sudan is a very stable country as well as Zimbabwe. It seems if you piss off the Anglo people, you will see yourself bottom of every negative report they produce.

I believe Ethiopia is more unstable than Zimbabwe.

far from the fact.

People you need to understand, every single report that comes out of these kinds of think thank organizations and the UN are bogus and suppose to have a great deal of political , social and economical implication in a negative way. You will never hear anything positive about Ethiopia despite the fact who well behaved Ethiopia is in the global community compare to many other counties, and it's military contribution ever since the Korean war until present time. It almost has become a culture or a tradition within world organizations and the UN to bash and give Ethiopia a deaf and blind eye. The only UN secretary who did not open his mouse against Ethiopia was Mr. Annan even though he was pressurized by many Arabs and Europeans.

Hey Guys Sudan is far more stable than Nigeria. But why do you think I is on the front line of the list. Nigerian oil is being taken and scrambled by American companies. But Sudan's Oil is being sold in a fair price by Sudan.

Dont you guys wonder why western media are concentrating on Gambela and Ogaden? There is oil and that oil is most likely to be given to Chinese developers. The selfishness of the west is limitless. Dont forget these people are the evils who washed the land of America by the blood of the natives.

It was for natural resources they devoured all the red Indians. Now they are working on us Africans.

I wonder why they give us the diversity visa I mean why do they need th diversity? Let us all stand by the side of good to win these evils.

The Woyane's "no war no peace" is working in reverse. It was ment to harm Eritrea. But look who is ranking as failed state #18? With all the infusion from the west - in billions- is not helping. Woyane is a banckrupt group of gungs leading a country with out a vision and based on lies and deception.

Remove Woyane before too late for Ethiopia.

The Ethiopian governt has got things undercontrol look what happened to the OLF it was a large armed oppostion at one stage but being unwise decided to challadge the battle harded forced of the ethiopian government and were beaten so badly that could not recover fully since 1993. these reble movements that creat instablty are just like flies only anoying and pose no real threat to the governmentt but only to the incent civillian who take the ful suffering of theses rebles actions and since there is no force as strong as the TPLF during ing gurrela years to challeng the gov all is ok

Dear Readers,
All these mambo Jumbo failed state, rank, Bla, bla is an insult towards African and our intelligent. We all need to know and recognized that the causes of all these insults are us. Having said that, when are we going to protect our interest and future? West are focusing on Africa more than ever , establishing Africa command center and media outlet are moving to Africa to better serve there evil agenda, thus what are we doing about our future, just listening their garbage and allowing them to rub us in the day light. Hope we all walk-up this time around.

The report is logical. The chance for Sudan to break away is more bleak than Iraq. According to the deal between Khartum and South Sudan in 2005, South Sudan might succeed in 2011 by a refrendum. The Tplf cadres can not discredit the report to cover thier utter failure to take Ethiopia in a down spiral way- FAILED STATE.

From number one under Mengistu to 18 is a great improvement. Ethiopia today is the country where 90% of its population leave in a comfortable, peacefully under a constitutional and democratically elected government by the people and for the people in every nation and nationalities, prevail and civil liberties is entertained.
The problem is made by a loud ruling class who lives in the diaspora, who are the symbols of what was wrong with Ethiopia.
There are as in most parts of the world extreme Jihadists roam around the world from Spain to London and Chechnya. In Ethiopia these are areas hot as hell itself a small fraction of the total population live. These God forsaken places Called the Afar depression and the scorched and sun baked sand box of a land called Somalia, and the most despotic war monger leader of a failed state called Eritrea. These groups are mentally sick the former due to their inhospitably hot desert and the later due to the guilt of his murderous life that torments him day and night. Come to high land Ethiopia where tourists are flocking and the people are prospering, Addis Ababa has replaced the chaotic Lebanon where people from neighbouring countries come to have fun and enjoy the excellent weather and Five Star Hotels.
The report as usual is done by journalists and old politicians sitting a cool office and pick a country at random. Where is Lebanon. Algeria, Spain, Indonesia, Chechnya, Liberia, Congo, Rwanda and Burundi, Morocco and Western Sahara, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, Nepal, Sri Lank, Pakistan, and India Cashmere, Burma and the murder ghettos American cities that is a total failure and so on and so forth.

Somali realist

"Zimbabwe is very stable", huh? Do you know what you are saying? A country with 1400% inflation is stable? A country whose economy is in disarray is stable? Mugabe himself admits that he is in a mess. The funny thing is that he is saying the west is sabotaging to bankrupt his country. Give me a break!
