💨 Abstract

The M23 insurgency, which took control of eastern DR Congo, faces the challenge of governing and reviving the economy in the regions they hold. Banks are closed, currency shortages abound, and supply chains are disrupted, causing price hikes. The insurgents have imposed new taxes, including a 15% tax on coltan production, crucial for electronics.
