Lebanon-Beirut Port blast

Lebanon ranked as the country with the angriest people in the world (49%), according to the latest data collected by US company Gallup from end of 2021 though mid 2022, followed by Turkey (48%) and Armenia (46%).

Between the years 2021 and 2022, this report included data from over 100 countries, in which 1000 people from each, who are above 15 years old, were part of this survey.

The survey found, after analyzing emotions (including anger), that almost 49% of those who participated from Lebanon did meet the criteria, meaning they have experienced some sort of rage the day earlier.

With people having to deal with the endemic corruption and an economic meltdown brought on by the ruling elite, the devastating Beirut Port blast in 2020, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Lebanon has been rated the angriest country in the world, the Alarabiya Englsi reported.

It said, Turkey was ranked second (48 percent), where high levels of anger were also measured due to high inflation which also worsened after the war in Ukraine, which began earlier this year on February 24.

Armenia came in third place with an anger rate of 46 percent due to its political tensions with neighboring Azerbaijan over the disputed Nagorno Karabakh territory.

Iraq (46 percent) and Afghanistan (41 percent) came in fourth and fifth in the anger index due to socio-economic issues brought on by years of war.
