Statista has published Gallup’s 2021 Global Emotions Report measuring emotions (including anger levels) in more than 100 countries around the world, for the second half of 2021 and the beginning of 2022.
5 most angry people
According to the report, Lebanon ranked first in the list of the most angry people, followed by Turkey, then Armenia, Iraq fourth and Afghanistan fifth.
Gallup found that 49 percent of people in Lebanon experienced anger the day before the poll, the highest recorded anywhere in the world.
Lebanese crises
In an interview with “Sky News Arabia”, researcher in International Information Muhammad Shams El-Din said that the conditions the Lebanese people are going through make them among the most angry and resentful nations, as the national currency has lost more than 95 percent of its value, and the unemployment rate has risen to more than 38 percent. , while the inflation index recorded 250% during a period of two years
Shams El-Din warned that public services in Lebanon are in a state of frightening decline, as the supply of electric current almost touches only two hours a day, and hospitals do not receive patients if they do not have cash and dollars, and water is cut off for days and does not reach homes or residential units and even offices.
least expressive people
Shams El-Din regretfully describes the Lebanese people as “the most angry and least expressive of the state of anger”, justifying his description of this by the way the Lebanese deal with any crisis that arises.
And if the electricity goes out, he resorts to generators, solar energy, and alternative means, and the same goes for rationing bread, and therefore the Lebanese accepts and does not reject the bad situation that causes his resentment and anger.
An unenviable situation
On the other hand, with regard to Iraq, the economic expert Bassem Antoun believes in an interview with “Sky News Arabia”, that the very difficult and difficult conditions that Iraq is going through economically and politically, and the inaccurate promises that were given to the people and were not implemented, made it in a difficult and revolutionary situation and unable to anyone believe.
Although Iraq is a rich country and has many potentials, it suffers from dilapidated infrastructure, poor services and loss of job opportunities, as more than 25 percent of Iraqis suffer from unemployment, and more than 30 percent of them live below the poverty line, and therefore all of these factors make the country in an unenviable position.
Iraq is the twin of Lebanon
Anton points out the suffering of the Iraqi people from transportation problems, congestion, power outages, and stopping the economic and industrial machine, as it depends on a rentier economy and not a productive economy, pointing out that Iraq is the twin of Lebanon, as there are many similarities in terms of unemployment and currency depreciation.
