The world conflict map – do NOT go to ANY of these places

This comprehensive global conflict map shows where tourists would encounter danger and violence across the world, including North Korea and the Middle East.

North Korea is naturally included on the map as the country’s aggressive nuclear testing campaign threatens to spark .

across North Korea’s capital city, Pyongyang, over the weekend as the country forces its citizens to prepare for the possibility of conflict.

While Kim Jong-un’s have made the global geopolitical climate increasingly volatile.

That said, you might not want to go to North Korea anyway – the notoriously secretive dictatorship is not much of a tourist hotspot.

Civil wars in Libya and Syria are also rated as “critical” conflicts, as is the war against the so-called Islamic State in Iraq.

Tensions in the East China Sea and territorial disputes in the South China Sea, as Asian superpower China flexes its muscles to take control of the area, are also branded “critical” conflicts.

Tensions in the Middle East have been taken into account as “significant” conflicts in Yemen and Lebanon get a special mention.

In Lebanon, sectarian conflicts involving Hezbollah, a political and military organisation which has been involved in terrorist attacks, have dogged politics for years.

In recent weeks the Lebanese prime minister fled to Saudi Arabia, where he resigned in a strongly-worded speech in which he accused Hezbollah, backed by Iran, of destabilising his country.

Saudi Arabia has also made  in the region that have threatened to destabilise neighbouring countries whose conflicts have made it on to the list.

The Sunni Kingdom has declared it is “at war” with Iran and Lebanon, while it has also blockaded Yemen over a missile launch aimed at Riyadh, and led the charge in isolating Qatar amid accusations the Emirate state backed terrorism.

Islamist militancy in Pakistan and Egypt are also “significant” conflicts which merit a serious warning, as are the violent activities of vile extremists Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Terrorist group Boko Haram were responsible for the capture of 200 Chibok schoolgirls in Nigeria in 2014. 100 of the young schoolgirls still have not returned home.

The refugee crisis in the European Union is also mentioned. Refugees fleeing bloody conflicts all over the world have headed for Europe – but most European countries maintain they do not have room to grant them all asylum.

“Limited” conflicts included in the map include a host of tensions across Africa.

Violence in the Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo, civil war in South Sudan, a political crisis in Burundi, and destabilisation in Mali are all included.

The activities of another Islamist terrorist group, Al Shabab, in Somalia are also mentioned in the conflict map.

Islamist militancy in Russia and sectarian violence in Myanmar should also be avoided.
