The report identified the countries most at risk for new mass killings in 2020 or 2021. Topping the list is Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Furthermore, several countries have been consistently rated as high-risk over multiple years, including Yemen, South Sudan, and Sudan. Other countries where risk has increased since last year’s assessment include Colombia, Turkey, and Nigeria. 

Indeed, only a few weeks after the report was published, 11 coal miners from the minority Hazaras in the western Pakistani province of Balochistan were abducted and killed by gunmen. Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack. However, the attack is still being investigated. Members of the Hazara minority group are often subjected to attacks because of their religious affiliation.https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewelinaochab/2021/01/18/what-are-the-countries-at-risk-of-mass-killings-in-2021/?sh=5a1e9d223c35
