There may be a connection between roads and defense (efficient troop movement) so maybe some of the military aid will go to improving the not-quite-highways. My Moldovan friends used to make that "pocketing" gesture when the saw news about foreign aid for roads, but it's a new administration & a new day.

My other comment - the difference between an inter-city bus terminal (a few urban streets with buses parked along them and drivers/touts standing outside announcing destinations) and the airport with its mysterious VIP lounge taking up half the terminal is a good object lesson in oligarchy, if Shor truly owns them all. (As an alternative, here in the U.S. we have public port authorities; don't know the history of that kind of infrastructure.)
