Travelers are still warned that journeying to the Congo can be quite dangerous. Today this land of vast natural resources is one of Africa's largest petroleum producers, and has significant underdeveloped economic potential. Major weaknesses include a generally poor infrastructure and inadequate health care. The vast percentage of population live in the south, between the capital city of Brazzaville and the coastal city of Point Noire.
