Congratulations San Pedro Sula, you’ve officially arrived as the murder capital of the world. While recent number are difficult to obtain, a Citizen Council study reported that a whopping 1,143 out of 719,447 of San Pedro Sula’s residents were murdered in 2011.That’s 159 people killed for every 100,000 residents. That’s a murder rate 40 times higher than the average U.S. city, and 8 times higher than the most dangerous city in America (New Orleans). Even the U.S. peace corps was forced to withdraw from Honduras after a member of the peace corps was shot in the leg in San Pedro Sula.
Perhaps even more alarming is a study by the United Nations indicating that the city’s murder rate has more than doubled in the period from 2005 – 2010. Like many struggling Latin American countries, San Pedro Sula’s spike in extreme violence is largely a product of the drug trade, mixed with extreme poverty and high levels of corruption.
Squeezed out by President Calderon’s War on Drugs, many traffickers have set up shop in Honduras, leaving a trail of bloodshed and lawlessness in their wake. One doctor tells the story of how she was receiving 3 patients with gunshot wounds, only for a gunman to drop in and shoot them before casually walking away.
Gangs, extreme poverty, and total corruption all contribute to make San Pedro Sula the world’s most dangerous city heading into 2013.

Quite some LA countries in there. Why doesn't the US of A poke its nose here instead going behind oil? :|

US is not the most dangerous country in the world. We don't have rebel armies or cartels with drug lords behind them. There is high crime just like any other part of the world, but not enough to proclaim it one of the most dangerous places in the world. If there was any state in America that had the potential of making that list it would most likely be Texas or states surrounding Mexico ;)
 
USA is pretty safe, in some parts. But even then, the junkies will give you chills when faced at the wrong time.
 
Wow, I live in the 5th most dangerous place of the world and I'm still alive :dan:
BTW many of those deaths doesn't occur in San Pedro Sula or in Tegucigalpa (Distrito Central) but in the neighboring districts.
 
India not in hit list?

Would u mind telling how many drug lords existing, how many private armies existing, how many cartels existing, how many murders taking place and how many murders happening in India compared to those in the list if u knw anything???? They classified the world's most dangerous places based on a criteria. Thr is no public opium trade or drug wars or epic awful crime scenes compared to any anarchy ruling nations in India. You cant dig out ur own conclusions and just bcoz some rivals in the list u cant put a country into the list yourself.
