Additionally, the country faced frequent food shortages and had to rely on food aid from other countries. In the 1980s, the government began to shift towards more market-oriented policies and economic liberalization, which led to a period of economic growth and development. However, the country still faces significant challenges, including high levels of inequality, poverty, and unemployment.
