I would not go to Somalia, Mindanao (heard terrible things about Abu Sayaf), and of course Iraq or Afghanistan. Foreigners in the latter two ones are seen by most of the people as occuppiers. In some cases they are right, because unfortunately some american NGOs are used by US intelligence agencies (not a conspiration theory but a fact: they had been used, they are used and they will be used). Nothing personal: I think the US is a great country (Obama is the example of it).
Eastern Congo is quite OK in terms of security in comparison to Somalia, you need bodyguards there. Chechnya is another place were bodyguards are needed.
all the best
