Ivory Coast invested remarkably in its transport system. Transport Infrastructures are much more developed than they are other West African countries despite a crisis that restrained their maintenance and development. Since its independence in 1960,Ivory Coast put an emphasis on increasing and modernizing the transport network for human as well as for goods. Major infrastructures of diverse nature were built including railways,roads,waterways,and airports. In spite of the crisis,neighbor countries still strongly depend on the Ivorian transport network for importing,exporting,and transiting their immigrants to Ivory Coast.
Mali's transportation infrastructure is regarded as poor,even by regional standards,and deficiencies have limited economic growth and development. Nevertheless,improvements have been noted in the early 2000s. Most of the transportation in Mali consists of cars,planes,and boats.
Sierra Leone,officially the Republic of Sierra Leone,is a country on the southwest coast of West Africa. It is bordered to the southeast by Liberia and by Guinea to the north. Its land area is 71,740 km2 (27,699 sq mi). It has a tropical climate and environments ranging from savannas to rainforests. As of the 2015 census,Sierra Leone had a population of 7,092,113. Freetown is both its capital and its largest city. The country is divided into five administrative regions,which are further subdivided into 16 districts.
Sierra Leone first became inhabited by indigenous African peoples at least 2,500 years ago. The Limba were the first tribe known to inhabit Sierra Leone. The dense tropical rainforest partially isolated the region from other West African cultures,and it became a refuge for peoples escaping violence and jihads. Sierra Leone was named by Portuguese explorer Pedro de Sintra,who mapped the region in 1462. The Freetown estuary provided a good natural harbour for ships to shelter and replenish drinking water,and gained more international attention as coastal and trans-Atlantic trade supplanted trans-Saharan trade.
There are a number of systems of transport in Sierra Leone,a country in West Africa,which possess road,rail,air and water infrastructure,including a network of highways and several airports.
