Ok lets talk about one of the worst enemies that can be found in every country in the world. It is not war or conflict that really makes things worst in any given country. It is a corrupt government and officials that make things worst for everyone.

My country Indonesia has been known as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, ever since this country gained its independence. I believe it is because the mentality that has been passed down from the feudal time of kingdoms, then the colonialism that influences it, so when we finally have the power of our own, those people in power can easily exploit the resource in the country, tunneling the money to their pocket and friends.
And for years foreign companies have been extracting the natural resources in the country, after making a shady agreement with the people in power, which is usually politicians. Which is usually goes into the favor of the foreign companies. Some of the money then goes to make those politicians' bellies even bigger.
As that money goes elsewhere, it's the citizens that pay the price. Bad infrastructure, bad healthcare, and bad services, then drive the criminality rate high. Corruption is the enemy of my country.
