The red dot in Japan ? Is it related to the nuclear bombs ?
Edit : its a nuclear power plant that melted down according to the comments below.
You can see Fukushima!
Also the attention to regions is nice, for example Sinai vs. Egypt, or border zones.
Why isn’t Russia red?
So basically ‘avoid places where they speak French’.
What’s wrong with that particular piece of steppe/mountains in Kazakhstan?
Senegal has a murder rate of 0.3 per 100k, similar to the likes of Singapore, Japan, China, Switzerland or Norway, while the US has a murder rate of 6.5, similar to Afghanistan, Haiti, Yemen, Ukraine or Russia, and 21 times higher than Senegal.

And yet this map claims America is safer than Senegal? How come?
Its the first map where I see the ongoing civil war in Thailand depicted. A civil war which the Thai government very successfully manages to hide from the public eye.
Green China, seriously?
PRC’s habit of kidnapping random foreigners to exchange them for criminals they want their host country to free is not a relevant factor?
I’d honestly rather cross paths with Somali pirates than Chinese police.
some of it is lazy work. You are safer in Hargeysa or Garowe (northern somalia) than in some central american countries that have a high murder rate or certain neighborhoods of big american cities
Not fan of this map, its not very detailed. For example I am sure that country of Georgia is much much safer place to visit than Memphis or Detroit. You take one wrong turn in most of the US and its lights out.
That reminds me… are there any good French-language subreddits?
Oh no, did someone forget to tell them about Australian wildlife?
What is going on in East Kazakhstan? A new country I did not know about?
Why are the colombian borders all red and inner colombia yellow? I thought the Ecuador border was actually relatively safe, and the jungle and mountains in the yellow area can house some of the guerillas who like to sequester foreigners for moneys.
OP didn’t translate the colour coding so let me do it for those who are curious.
Red: please avoid travelling there
Orange: only travel there if you have an important reason to
Yellow: be more vigilant when travelling there
Green: be as vigilant as you’d normally be

a lot of the red areas in Africa feels like “yeah, we kinda fucked it up in there, avoid those”
bold of them to make detroit green
Chile is the richest and safest country in Latin America why is it in yellow??
I wonder if Morocco is really that better place to travel than rest of Africa?
This is actually a good map, at least in Peru it is very accurate.
This seems mostly accurate, although I would have thought China should prob be yellow
To those who say that the map isn’t quite accurate on country level, this map is a mere summary of the detailed map France Ministry of Foreign Affairs does for every country. If you go to the website of the French Embassy for a particular country, you have a section “Conseils aux Voyageurs / Advices to travellers” with a very detailed map of the country and the color coded regions, as well as long texts describing the main threats/elements you must be aware of in the country.
