Terrorism, human trafficking, and corruption are creating a more dangerous continent, which in turn is preventing better governance, a new report by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation revealed.

The report shows two thirds of Africans live in a country where safety and rule of law has deteriorated over the past decade

Even among the top ten high scoring countries, six have witnessed a decline, with the continent's largest economic power, South Africa registering the largest drop since 2006.

Mo Ibrahim, the chair of the Mo Ibrahim foundation said in a statement: "safety and rule of law is the biggest issue facing the continent today."

Freedom of expression has also deteriorated with two thirds of countries, representing 67% of the African population, witnessing a decline.
