In a country where you have gangs with 50 cal sniper rifles, heavy caliber machine guns, mortars, rpgs, and apc's, a walled compound, even with armed guards will hold only as long as they pay off the local militia.

And if the local gang falls to another gang, all security arrangements also fall.

Nothing in that country is stable. Anyone vacationing there is nuts.

Any company taking people there is irresponsible.
