30 Countries Most Impacted by Terrorism in the World

3. Somalia

The most recent Global Terrorism Index report reveals that in 2022, the group was held responsible for 784 deaths, with a significant portion, specifically 733 fatalities, occurring in Somalia alone. Good reason to put it on the list of the countries most impacted by terrorism in the world. Despite a reduction in the total number of attacks compared to the previous year, there has been an increase in the number of deaths, signifying a higher level of lethality in the group’s attacks. Notably, in 2022, al-Shabaab orchestrated one of its deadliest assaults by detonating two vehicles laden with explosives at the education ministry building. This horrifying event resulted in the loss of 120 lives in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
