They’ve had decades of brain drain because of all the insecurity and corruption. Currently I don’t see that reversing, it’s very ingrained. I hope they find a way of providing better opportunities, demographically it’s a young country so maybe they can make something work for them.

But oof is it gonna be an uphill battle when your government works against you by not supporting education, security, infrastructure.
