Many areas in the country still have active landmines. The country is dangerous. The police are corrupt, the government corrupt and you can't take chances that they have accurately signposted minefields. They probably haven't. On some motorways they only have road signs on one side because they ran out of money.
If you decide to drive (like I did) don't go for a natural break in the bushes. I saw quite a few villagers missing limbs on my journeys.

All the towns along the roads have a 80km speed limit as you approach and a 60km limit about 100 meters further. Slow down if you cannot see if the criminal police gangs are there. Even if you are not speeding (I was not) you may still get a ticket. Carry an International Driving Permit or get an official copy of your Driving Licence. It is cheaper than the fine. Hand it over and tell them you need a bank to get the money. They will tell you to go to the Police Station to pay and you get your documents back. Do not do it. It is just another opportunity to pay "Administration Fees". They look like Police, but they are criminals. Keep calm and polite.
