Which are the most stable countries in Africa?

Many African countries are considered unstable due to their “social, political, economic and demographic vulnerability”. A United States think tank called, Fund for Peace “ranks countries per their vulnerability to collapse based on twelve key political, social and economic indicators using the Conflict Assessment System Tool (CAST) analytical approach.”

According to this index, the African country of Mauritius was ranked the least fragile country in Africa and 148th in the world. “Mauritius is followed by Seychelles, Botswana, Ghana, Cape Verde, Namibia, Sao Tome and Principe, South Africa, Gabon and Tunisia. They rank 125th, 120th, 108th, 106th, 103rd, 97th, 96th, 91st and 89th in the world respectively.”
