Poor Country

1. Burundi. 269,56. 261,05. Africa

   • Burundi remains primarily a rural society, with just 13.4% of the population living in urban areas in 2019. The population density of around 315 people per square kilometre (753 per sq mi) is the second highest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Roughly 85% of the population are of Hutu ethnic origin, 15% are Tutsi, and fewer than 1% are indigenous Twa. The official languages of Burundi are Kirundi, French, and English, Kirundi being recognised officially as the sole national language. One of the smallest countries in Africa, Burundi's land is used mostly for subsistence agriculture and grazing, which has led to deforestation, soil erosion and habitat loss.
   • Burundi is the poorest country according to gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, with $272 in 2022, and a least developed country, facing widespread poverty, corruption, instability, authoritarianism, and illiteracy. Burundi is densely populated, and many young people emigrate in search of opportunities elsewhere. The World Happiness Report 2018 ranked the country as the world's least happy with a rank of 156. Burundi is a member of the African Union, Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, United Nations and the Non-Aligned Movemen

2. Sudan del Sur. 313,59. 230,13. Africa

   • • The region has been negatively affected by two civil wars since Sudanese independence: from 1955 to 1972, the Sudanese government fought the Anyanya rebel army (Anya-Nya is a term in the Madi language which means "snake venom") during the First Sudanese Civil War, followed by the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M) in the Second Sudanese Civil War for over 20 years. As a result, the country suffered serious neglect, a lack of infrastructural development, and major destruction and displacement. More than 2.5 million people have been killed, and millions more have become refugees both within and outside the country.
       • About 400,000 people are estimated to have been killed in the war,including notable atrocities such as the 2014 Bentiu massacre.Although both men have supporters from across South Sudan's ethnic divides, subsequent fighting has been communal, with rebels targeting members of Kiir's Dinka ethnic group and government soldiers attacking Nuers. More than 4 million people have been displaced, with about 1.8 million of those internally displaced, and about 2.5 million having fled to neighboring countries, especially Uganda and Sudan

3. Somalia. 369,62. 350,36. Africa

   • Somalia was likely one of the first lands to be settled by early humans due to its location. Hunter-gatherers who would later migrate out of Africa likely settled here before their migrations.[50] During the Stone Age, the Doian and Hargeisan cultures flourished here.[51][52][53][50][54][55] The oldest evidence of burial customs in the Horn of Africa comes from cemeteries in Somalia dating back to the 4th millennium BCE. The stone implements from the Jalelo site in the north were also characterized in 1909 as important artifacts demonstrating the archaeological universality during the Paleolithic between the East and the West
     • The Supreme Revolutionary Council seized power in 1969 and established the Somali Democratic Republic, brutally attempting to squash the Somaliland War of Independence in the north of the country. The SRC subsequently collapsed 22 years later, in 1991, with the onset of the Somali Civil War and Somaliland soon declared independence. Somaliland still controls the northwestern portion of Somalia representing just over 27% of its territory. Since this period most regions returned to customary and religious law. In the early 2000s, a number of interim federal administrations were created. The Transitional National Government (TNG) was established in 2000, followed by the formation of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in 2004, which reestablished the Somali Armed Forces.

4. Mozambique. 506,47. 492,27. Africa

   • The country is one of the poorest countries in the world, ranking low in GDP per capita, human development index, measures of inequality, and life expectancy, yet since the end of the civil war, its quality of life has improved markedly.6 Since 2001, Mozambique's economic growth has been among the highest in the world. The country's economy is based primarily on agriculture, with a growing tourism and industrial sector, focused primarily on food and beverages, chemical manufacturing, and aluminum and oil production.

5. Madagascar. 531,41. 498,68. Africa.

   • Poverty—as the mathematician Eli Khamarov said—is like a punishment for a crime you didn't commit. Dictatorial and corrupt governments make what could be a very rich nation into an incredibly poor nation. It is often difficult to identify a single long-term cause of poverty, which is why economists often refer to poverty 'cycles'. For example, an indebted country will not be able to afford good schools, and a poorly educated workforce will be less able to solve problems and create conditions that attract foreign investment.
