Aden — Yemen has been ranked as the most dangerous country in Asia according to the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2025, released in the annual report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP).

The report highlights Yemen’s ongoing conflict, humanitarian crisis, and fragile security environment as key factors behind its position at the bottom of the regional peace rankings. 

The country continues to face widespread instability, with armed clashes, economic collapse, and limited access to essential services contributing to its deteriorating conditions.

According to the IEP, the Global Peace Index measures levels of peace across 163 nations, assessing indicators such as political instability, violent crime, militarization, and the impact of conflict on civilian populations. 

Yemen’s ranking reflects the severe challenges facing its people, as well as the broader implications for regional stability.

The report also notes that Yemen’s situation has worsened compared to previous years, underscoring the urgent need for international cooperation to address humanitarian needs and support peacebuilding initiatives. 

Analysts warn that without sustained diplomatic efforts and reconstruction programs, Yemen’s crisis could further destabilize neighboring states and disrupt global trade routes.

Observers emphasize that Yemen’s placement in the Global Peace Index serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of prolonged conflict and the importance of renewed efforts to achieve a lasting political settlement.
