Hundreds of thousands of litres are being moved around the island in everything from huge metal drums to plastic soft drinks bottles - by boat, by hand, by truck or by plane. Roadblocks placed by politicians and run by factions of the deeply divided military have set in motion a massive black-market machine that is driving the country steadily towards lawlessness.
