7. Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo is another country that has been affected by a series of civil wars for a long time. Though rich in mineral resources, the country has not seen political stability for over 20 years following the end of Mobutu Sese Seko’s 32-year reign. The country has seen its internal conflicts exacerbated by interference from foreign countries such as Uganda and Rwanda. The country has seen renewed protests against current President Kabila, who has refused to stand down after the end of his democratically-led term. With elections being delayed, opposition is going to increase going into 2017.
