While ‘official’ economic activity contracted in the hands of an incompetent, predatory elite, ‘real’ economic life became increasingly informalized in unofficial enterprise and trade channels that formally escaped state control. This evolution again confirms Janet Roitman’s claim that the relation between the state and the non-state in Africa has often been highly ambiguous: while antagonism often exists with regard to the state’s regulatory authority, complicity is also evident insofar as the state depends on these various non-state forces for rents and the means of redistribution (Roitman, 2001).

At a certain point, this system of piggy-backing became so widespread that the rebel movement had to invent an additional system of special discharges, which consisted of the partial exemption of taxes. This meant that duties were paid in advance, for a reduced price, by a specific group of businessmen and for a specific set of imports. 21 Through their contract with the rebels, Butembo’s smuggler-entrepreneurs arguably engaged in a particular mode of ‘risk management’, in which the estimated welfare they would gain from accepting the rebels’ protection was weighed against the expected losses on their enterprise as well as society at large.
