They way I see it, the mining companies are doing them a favor. Those corrupt african governments, (mostly) would just buy more weapons and throw expensive parties, and the populace would just be even more oppressed.

There's a few good examples of good governments there like Ghana, but they are mostly a bunch of greedy despots.

Been to africa, on deployment don;t bother caring what happens, they dont.....

400 million over fifteen years is chump change for a government. (Even Ghana). They are stealing, but would 400 million completely change a country like Ghana ? not likely.

The problem with Africa is the same as with the Middle-East. Too many power hungry warlords, not enough benevolent dictators. What they need is a brutal a**hole who wants what's best for the country and it's people. History is replete with them and they're always great men.

Benevolent dictators? Like Lenin? No jobs = idle hands= the devil's workshop. Its simply tribal warfare with guns and machetes instead of poison darts and wooden sticks.
