Dealing with Corruption in Africa's War Zones

Enough published in October 2016 a report titled "Bankrupting Kleptocracy: Financial Tools To Counter Kleptocracy in Africa's Deadliest War Zones" by J.R. Mailey and Jacinth Planer.

The study argues that fighting corruption must become a cornerstone of U.S. engagement with countries that have been plagued by violent kleptocracy and there must be consequences for kleptocrats. It urges use of a combination of sanctions, anti-money laundering measures, and the anti-bribery provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
