Again, one more nation which is ranked as one of the poorest in the World, faces large population fleeing even though this country does not have any ongoing civil war crisis. The governance has been poor and is concentrated at a single point. The living environment is poor as also liveability conditions. Exploitation of the citizens is high and most of the population is subjected to decade long military service. It is estimated that around 400,000 people fled the country in 2014.
