7. 尼日利亞和剛果(金) （ Nigeria and Congo ）（并列）
Nigeria is the biggest country on a continent that is increasingly important to the world for oil and other resources. It is a major player in the global energy scene. And it faces multiple threats both internally and from a truly scary neighborhood. Congo is the site of the world's most deadly conflict of the past decade and both a metaphor and hub for the kind of regional fracturing that make instability in Africa one of the things most worrying to U.S. and European military commanders.
　　尼日利亞是非洲大陸上的最大國家，憑藉石油和其他資源，非洲對世界的重要性正不斷增加。但是尼日利亞面臨著嚴峻的國內問題，外加實在令人擔憂的鄰國。過去10年間，剛果(金)是世界上沖突最血腥的地區，是整個非洲地區不穩定的重要因素，也是令美國和歐盟軍事指揮官感到最頭疼的地方。
