Retail, Transportation Sectors in High-Risk of Terrorism: Report
Brazil’s risk rating increased from medium to severe on Aon’s 2014 Terrorism and Political Violence Map due to widespread and large-scale violent anti-government protests throughout 2013, and the analysis indicates that this unrest will likely continue in 2014, especially ahead of the FIFA World Cup and the October general elections.
Despite some improvements in the ratings – eight decreases and one increase to the 37 country scores in Sub-Saharan Africa – Africa remains a continent of high political violence and terrorism risk. 22 countries in the continent have high to severe risk ratings.
