With a population of just 11,500, Jadu is a tiny mountain town that offers little to entice most foreigners. The former trade hub has fallen on hard times, with a history of Italian concentration camps and recent civil war leaving it a far cry from a modern, cosmopolitan destination. Bureaucratic headaches are a persistent issue, as evidenced by the town's council rejecting a 2017 constitutional draft. Unless you're an Amazigh minority seeking a remote, traditional enclave, Jadu holds little appeal for the average expat.
