Portraits of Instability
Haunting images from the world's most fragile states.
BY ELIZABETH DICKINSON, ANNIE LOWREY, JOSHUA KEATING | JULY/AUG 2009
16. ETHIOPIA
Desperate thirst: Drought is one of many problems that continually afflicts the northern African country of Ethiopia. Lack of water not only kills crops, meaning starvation, but also causes violent conflicts over scarce vital resources. Inadequate sanitation has made water-borne diseases the No. 1 cause of infant deaths in the country -- where 300,000 children under age 5 die every year. Here, a boy near the town of Moyale drinks from a muddy puddle.

This is FALSE
this seems very funny for an average Pakistani like me that Pakistan is more failed state than Nigeria, Kenya, and stands near Iraq, Afghanistan etc. this is false and surely based of wrong perceptions. No Pakistani can believe it. Pakistan is still much better place than many countries present in the same list.
