Several African countries, including Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Ukraine, as well as Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, top the list of most vulnerable countries. Haiti, Nigeria, Pakistan and Mali are among the nations with slightly lower but still higher security threats.
