Entire communities are regularly targeted in carefully orchestrated military operations. Politico-military groups and various armed factions that effectively rule the country are held responsible for the chaos. Since 2014, the proliferation of these armed groups across the country has confirmed how deeply rooted politico-criminal entrepreneurship has become. In fact, it is now a booming business sector.
