Economic Progress

These are the world’s most fragile states in 2019

A protester wearing a gas mask takes cover from tear gas fired by riot police during clashes in the village of Bilad al-Qadeem, south of Manama, July 19, 2013. Bahrain's Ministry of Interior rejected permission for the weekly anti-government rally organized by Bahrain's main opposition party Al Wefaq. Protesters from various villages defied the ban as they took to the streets demanding the government give them more rights.
