Aketi
8.1
Lower score (below 6)
Aketi territory is deep rainforest in northeastern DRC, accessible on unpaved roads that flood out for months at a time. The former Belgian railway station here has been non-functional for decades — the whole place reflects that same arrested-in-time quality. No reliable electricity, no banking infrastructure, and the economy runs on cassava farming and whatever comes in from small bush traders. As a foreigner you'll stand out from the moment you arrive and logistics will eat most of your bandwidth.
