Somalia ranked happiest country in Sub-Saharan Africa. Only Algerians and Libyans more happier than Somalis in Africa, according to UN report.

The report about happiness on Somalia has surprised many who believe there is nothing to be happy about for a citizen who live under civil war more than 25 years with absence of basic services.

Denmark is the happiest country in the world with Burundi sitting bottom of the 157-nation UN-sanctioned World Happiness Report 2016.


The report, released on Wednesday, ranks the countries on a variety of factors: People's health and access to medical care, family relations, job security and social factors, including political freedom and degree of government corruption.places Burundi at bottom.

Denmark, the Scandinavian nation, with a population of 5.6 million, has topped the list twice before since the world body started measuring happiness around the world in 2012.

Somalia emerged number 76 while Burundi and Syria are completing the table with over 150 countries.

For those people who seem to dismiss @AbdiJohnson source as being "unreliable" are either ignorant or biased to the core. Wikipedia is absolutely reliable as it provides a reference section which gives you links to the sources of the claims being made.

The sources is the world health organisations:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate

It's the second source which is highlighted.

Please let me know, so I can ask them to also do a count of the Somali population

I second this. What were their methods?

These statistics came from the world health organisation. If you wish to know how they done it then look up at my post where I provide the sources. Nonetheless, you cannot argue against their authenticity.

I heard few Somalis from Hargeisa who committed suicide, the fact is it's very hidden. People don't talk much about it
