Toughest African city

[NW10]

rio is a bueatiful place.

Yeah i dont bout that, but you see what i mean? The image portrayed of the 'ghetto' life in Rio seems unreal. It would be very unfortunate to have to live like that.

^^Just looking at what we said, also, Los Angeles is often percieved by alot of English people to be the worst city in America (probably cos of its portrayal in gangster movies) however im sure LA is on the whole a nice city with its gang violence reserved only for certain city areas.

why isn't anyone mentioning monrovia, the capital of liberia?
now i'm not an expert on africa but as far as i know liberia is probably one of the most troubled states in the world and since any attempts to establish a working government structure there failed, no law enforcement whatsoever can be upheld. i'm more or less quoting from books by peter scholl latour ("afrikanische totenklage", not available in english) and ryszard kapuscinski ("the shadow of the sun") and both of them depict liberia as absolute rock bottom.

i personally was in cape town five years ago. lots of street stuff going on there but i was hanging out with locals and therefore didn't feel in danger - most of the time. apart from the crime problems its probably one of the most beautiful places i've been to.

Some years back Brazzaville in Congo was named the most dangerous city in the world. I guess u don't count places where there's an actual war going on.

But in the Ituru province in northern Congo there are two tribes who are killing each other off. Hema and Lendu and they show no mercy whatsoever... killing everything in site and all that sick shit with cutting womens breast off and cutting out their babies out of the stomach.

Also I guess Darfur in Sudan could be a better place. The arabs of the north don't like the blacks in the south. And then theres climate changes there so the nomadic people come in conflict with farmers who stay put.

We shouldn't even talk about Rwanda for that matter...

Like the toughest city in Europe thread there is no right or wrong answer to this question, we can argue all day about the toughest city in Africa without getting anywhere. The thread also has little to do with 'International Gang' in Africa.

If you wish to discuss gangs in Africa do so in the relevant thread. Thanks
