Transportation

Road
The condition of the road network is average, and even rather poor but it is being improved on the two-way sections connecting the capital with the main cities of the country. The conditions of traffic are difficult (numerous old private or public vehicles, badly maintained, plus a total disrespect of traffic rules). To drive at night should be avoided.

Rail
There is no railroad network to ensure the transportation of people.

Air
There are Air connections between the capital and the main cities of the country and with some important tourist places as well. The aircraft's maintenance does not call to any particular remark.

Internet
