“During the last half-decade, the Fund for Peace has been putting together the Failed States Index, using a battery of indicators that determine how stable (or unstable) a country is. We have taken the top sixty (60) or should we say worst sixty Failed Countries of the World. But as much as we admire the stats and numbers, there is no better way as the photos that demonstrate the degree of failure of a country. The best test is the simplest one, which is that you’ll know a failed state when you see it” – Fund for Peace..
Fortunately, Ghana is not on the list and we need to do everything to safeguard the God-Sent-Peace we are enjoying. We should not allow the Kennedy Agyapongs and other misguided politicians within our mist to derail the relative peace and onward development, no matter how slow. Without peace, there will be no development.
Our neighbor, Nigeria, is on the list, thanks to Boko Haram. Ivory Coast is also on the list, thanks to Laurent Gbagbo. In fact, Togo made the list, as well as Burkina Faso, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Chad, Niger, Guinea, and Cameroon (almost all the West African Countries). Let us preserve the Peace in Ghana.
