Most Dangerous Cities in The World

[toongeorges]

20 of the top 50 most dangerous cities in the world are in Latin America. Not one Argentinian city made into the list. The same cannot be said about Brazil, unfortunately.

? I count 44 of the 50 are in Latin America , not just 20. The 21st most dangerous city (New Orleans) is the first non Latin American city.

You are correct. I meant to say that the first 20 on this list of 50 most dangerous cities were all in Latin America.

Interesting viewing but for me nothing too surprising. With regards to Buenos Aires, I think most of us agree there are other cities in LatAm where you have a higher chance of getting killed, but that doesnt make BA safe.

There is not one city in East Asia or Central Africa on that list but the geography of Venezuela, Brazil and South Africa is explored in detail.... come on! for whose eyes was this traffic flow booster made?

Mogadishu would probably be number 1 on the list but i doubt there is any reliable stats to be used for their murder rate.
Global Peace Index gives an idea about the situation in Somalia.
