Nearly 40% of countries around the world will face civil unrest in 2020 with flashpoints predicted in 75 nations, study warns

Nearly a quarter of the world's countries saw a dramatic surge in civil unrest last year, a trend that is likely to continue into 2020, a new study has warned.

Analysts predict that as many as 75 nations will see violence and demonstrations break-out this year, according to the report published today.

Hong Kong, Chile, Nigeria, Sudan, Haiti and Lebanon were among the 47 states that saw significant rise in protests in 2019.

But data published by socio-economic and political analysis firm Verisk Maplecroft, predicted that this year will see that number increase to 75 countries.

We need to continue to pray that President Trump continues to keep the US safe and strong. God has blessed the USA with this patriot and may He keep him strong and healthy. Strong borders, America first and keep our troops home.

And that is the way the US and Israel want it to remain.
Otherwise it wouldn't be that way.

Everywhere on the planet, people are getting angrier and angrier with holier-than-thou, know-it-all, we know what's best for you leaders who not only don't do what they preach for others to do, but are willing to imprison and kill the ones who get too uppity about it.
History shows what happens to those leaders, but no matter how many of them we kill, there ALWAYS seems to be a few left over.

We need to be more efficient when dealing with these wanna-be Hitler's and Stalin's.

You better be stocking up on EVERYTHING, because this ain't getting better with the passage of time. Oh no.
And, things like civil unrest, revolution, military coups, etc., tend to pop off quite unexpectedly and when they do, it's usually too late to run down to the corner store for a couple of hundred rounds of ammo and some drinking water.
Don't say "I never thought...…."
You will just be a victim.
