Global Network Report Reporter Li Liang] The famous American political magazine "Foreign Policy" released a special list on June 19, namely the global "failed countries" rankings. The African country Somalia has topped the list for the fifth consecutive year, becoming the "most failed country" in the world. Other top 10 countries include Congo, Sudan, Chad, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. The countries at the bottom of the list, meaning the most stable, are mostly from Northern Europe and North America. China ranks 76th on this list, lower than last year, with increased "stability", Russia ranks 83rd, and the United States ranks 159th.

CNN reported on June 19 that this is the eighth list of "World's Failed Countries" released by "Diplomacy Magazine". It assesses the "risk of instability" of 177 countries around the world based on 12 social, economic and political indicators, and announced the results on its website on June 18.

Somalia topped the list for the fifth year with a score of 114.9 due to "widespread lawlessness, ineffective government, terrorism, armed insurgency, crime and outright attacks on foreign convoys." Followed by Congo (111.2 points), Sudan (109.4 points), Chad (107.6 points) and Zimbabwe (106.3 points). Ranking 6th to 10th are Afghanistan (106 points), Haiti (104.9), Yemen (104.8 points), Iraq (104.3), and the Central African Republic (103.8). In addition, Pakistan ranks 13th, North Korea 22nd, and Iran 34th.

China ranked 76th with 78.3 points. Both the score and ranking have declined compared with last year, which means stability has increased. Russia's 83rd position also dropped from last year. The United States ranked 159th with a score of 34.8.

Affected by the "Arab Spring", the situation in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Tunisia has deteriorated significantly. Libya, in particular, has moved from being outside the 60th place to 50th this year. Syria has risen from 48th in 2011 to 23rd. Japan's ranking fell to 151st due to large-scale earthquakes and nuclear power plant explosions. Due to the economic crisis and distrust of the government, Greece's ranking fell to 138th.

The "Peace Fund", a US non-profit organization responsible for compiling the list, stated on its website that the countries at the top are not "necessarily failed, but are facing tremendous pressure to overcome problems such as uneven development, economic recession, and human rights."

The country ranked last on the list is also the most stable country in the world. New Zealand ranks 171, Norway ranks 173, Denmark ranks 175, and Sweden and the Netherlands are the last two.
