I doubt you will get any first hand information, it is not exactly the place seeing much traffic. Having been to some of the dodgier parts of the continent, I can suggest the following:


No matter what you are told, assume the worst. RFF likely does no exist, and same for security. I would not go in there until someone on the ground you know and can trust signals that the field is secure. I would take an armed security detail who is capable of checking anything/ anyone that gets loaded.


Google Earth is your best friend when it comes to airport layouts /conditions. Making a low pass to assess field conditions prior to committing to land is always a good idea.
