Africa has 6 out of top 7 "Failed States"

More disappointing news today about Africa: Six of the top seven "Failed States" are in Africa.

According to the list compiled by the US Foreign Policy magazine and the US-based Fund for Peace think-tank, Sudan is the world's top "Failed State" and the country that is the least viable. In addition to Sudan at number one (not the sort of number one you'd like), eleven of the top twenty least viable countries are in Africa. You can read the article for the list of twelve criteria on which the report was based.
Top Ten Failed States, 2006

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