'The Lado Enclave always was a wild, lawless area but became even more so after the death of King Leopold of Belgium. Because of a strange agreement between the British and Belgian colonial authorities, this remote corner of Africa was for a time actually a no-mans land without law or rules. Adventurers, ivory hunters, fortune seekers, and others flocked to the Lado Enclave to take advantage of the ivory and the lack of authority.' Editor's note.
