I noticed you visited a lot of historical looking places but no explanation as to what they were so I took a wild guess...

Okay so when I did purchasing for a car company we would appraise used cars. Some of them we would have to wholesale, structural damage, over 150k miles, just to old and at our auctions we would have people from all over the world buying this stuff up. The explanation I got was that there are not a lot of auto mechanic shops in certain parts of the world. Africa being one of them, so these cars would be sold over there and run until they basically blew up and get left at the side of the road. Did you see any abandoned vehicles like that along the major roads, towns or villages? Someone told me a thriving second hand non-mechanical car part trade popped up as well. Like if you need hub caps there is a guy that only sells hub caps and so on. Any truth to this or was I being fed some porky pies?
