Pakistan has had the dubious distinction of being the 'most dangerous nation' on earth for some time now. The country has been the hapless target of numerous terror strikes, it is often bombarded by drones sent by its 'ally' United States and lives in constant fear of a bloody coup by the powerful military.

A supporter of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa beats the US flag with his shoes during an anti-American rally in Karachi. Nearly 500 protesters gathered to march on the streets of Karachi to condemn America's decision to place a $10 million bounty on its leader Hafiz Saeed.
The Islamist leader, who had the $10 million American bounty placed on his head this week, has been helping Pakistan de-radicalise militants under efforts to stabilise the strategic US ally, a top Pakistani counter-terrorism official said.
