Djugu, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Capital City

Living in this Congolese town is no walk in the park. With a population of just over 41,400 as of recent estimates, Djugu is the administrative seat of its territory, but that's about the only positive you can say. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the town's safety record leaves much to be desired.

While Djugu may work for those with a high tolerance for red tape and a strong stomach, it's hardly the kind of place that will appeal to the average expat. Unless you have a specific reason to be here, you'd be better off exploring other options in the region.
