That should do for starters.
Been a couple of times well before the trouble (2004-5)
Besides getting stared at and not being able to get a pint, except for the hotel, I thought it was a pretty good place.

I was there about 12 times between the 70s and 90s. If you think the regime is run by a bad bastard now you should have see it when his father ran the show. Leather clad unshaven thugs on every street corner (probably the same ones who were staring at you). These were the secret police who also used to hang around the security HQ opposite the Meridien hotel staring at anyone who passed. And anyone who stayed more than a couple of days was pretty well guaranteed to get a bad case of the shits.
