UNODC ranked Haiti for 2003-2004, 21.55 homicides per 100 000. Data is an estimate because the corrupt government often undercounts the murders. The Cite Soleil slum in the Port-au-Prince metro was named by UN as the most dangerous place on earth. The slum is home to approximately 300 000 people. it is not odd to see children carrying around assault rifles and guns laying around in the bleak streets of Port-au-Prince.= No homicide data available though.

Fighting between Ethiopian and Samoan government troops escalated in March 2007. Islamic guerillas were also a big part of the problem.

TFG and AMISON won and now have control over 60% of Mogadishu, where 80% of the population lives.
