In the recently released 17th edition of the Global Peace Index (GPI) by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), Afghanistan has once again been ranked as the least peaceful country in the world for the eighth consecutive year. The report, titled Global Peace Index 2023, provides a comprehensive analysis of peace levels across 163 independent states and territories.
According to the report, Afghanistan’s prolonged state of unrest has led to its continued position as the least peaceful country. The war-torn nation is followed closely by Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which also face significant challenges in maintaining peace and stability.
