💨 Abstract

The M23 insurgents, who have seized control of the eastern part of Democratic Republic of Congo, now face the challenge of governing and bringing order to the areas under their control. They are struggling with economic revival, as banks are closed, currency shortages abound, and prices of essential goods have increased. The insurgents have imposed new taxes on businesses and residents, and are taxing coltan, a mineral crucial to electronic devices, at 15%.
