Cairo – Mubasher: Egypt has been ranked the 16th safest country out of 135 countries, outranking both the UK and the US, and the safest in Africa during 2017.
Egypt scored 88 out of 100 in the Gallup Global Law and Order’s survey for 2018, which places it on the same level as countries such as Denmark, Slovenia and China, the London-based BBC News reported.
The results of the survey were based on people’s confidence in local police, safety when they walk alone on streets at night, and if they faced cases of theft or assault within the past 12 months.
The top five safest countries were Singapore, Norway, Iceland, Finland, and Uzbekistan, while the five least safe countries were Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Gabon, and Liberia, according to the annual Gallup Global Law and Order.
