8. Libya
The oil rich country situated in the northern part of Africa has been in turmoil ever since ruler Muammar Gaddafi was killed in the civil war in 2011, with the rebels being supported by NATO. The country remains highly unstable, with the rival political bodies claiming to be the legitimate government. Large parts of the country are under the effective control of local militias and tribes. Though the United Nations is trying to bring the rival parties together, the rise of the Islamic State promises that 2017 will see more turmoil.
