Foreign Policy has published an excellent photo essay entitled Portraits of Instability, providing images from some of the most fragile - and failed - states in the world.

The order of the photos tracks the recently-published Failed States Index, with a photo for each of the states headlining the list, from Somalia at number one to East Timor at number twenty.
