privatizing warfare

There ha been a growing tendency to use military contractors and mercenaries, and there are accusations that many privately hired contractors are covertly linked to governments or intelligence agencies. The privatization of warfare is said to helps governments involved in conflict zones maintain plausible deniability in the information age, better allowing parties to freely engage in disinformation if missions go awry or flout legality and this has allowed private interests to use mercenaries to benefit and exploit situations of unrest. Is what that is happening in DRC a privatized war?
