The country's recent history saw 30 years of dictatorship (1967-1997) followed by two mains wars (1996 and 1998), while the political transition period from 2002 to 2007 culminated in the democratic election of the current president. Although the wars are officially over, localized conflict is still present in the east. After years of state neglect, ongoing corruption and destruction due to the armed conflict, the country is in great need of rebuilding in all sectors.
