Thanks. I'm thinking on-the-ground safety for Westerners

Posted by ty97 Jan 18 '13, 07:27

Seems Central is safer the Northern?

Responses:

Central is dangerous because it is the third world, and is home to many scary anarchist and rebel movements. Congo is horrible right now. North Africa - loosilu Jan 18, 07:31
I know quite a few people who work/have worked there. general consensus is the oil countries are the most dangerous, and so much need to worry about - mafic Jan 18, 07:29 11
- again it depends. The parts of Nigeria where the oil fields are = very dangerous. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:31 7
  - which is kind of why I said oil countries - most dangerous. -- nm - mafic Jan 18, 07:34
  - Which is what he said...... -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 18, 07:33 5
    - well, it can vary between the countries. And Algeria is more of a gas country. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:34 4
      - hydrocarbon countries, if you prefer. -- nm - mafic Jan 18, 07:36
      - You're right, but as he said, and you confirmed while being argumentative, where there's oil, there's higher risk - Will Hunting Jan 18, 07:35 1
        
        I'm being argumentative because there are three things: Oil, drug trafficking, and Al Qaida." - loosilu Jan 18, 07:37
      - WITHIN. sorry. - loosilu Jan 18, 07:34
- "Why would anyone want to kidnap *you*?" -- nm - Mallory Archer Jan 18, 07:31 1
  - AQ will happily kidnap anyone from the west for ransom. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:32
- that should be "not so much need" -- nm - mafic Jan 18, 07:30
