Most are in the grip of conflict to one degree or another. For instance, a civil war that began in 1993 is ongoing in Burundi, with rebel factions engaging in intense fighting with government forces. In Somalia, the federal government recently retook much of the country from the Union of Islamic Courts, but remains weak and dependent on the backing of the Ethiopian army. And in Côte d’Ivoire, a 2002 uprising nominally ended in 2003, but the north of the country remains under the control of armed rebels.  </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.forbes.com/2007/01/31/most-dangerous-destinations-forbeslife-ee_0201dangerousdestinations.html"><P>
