Regarding oil, the dictatorship uses it to keep powers like China and Russia happy and on its side!

And we could say that the people in the capital earn their living thanks to the government, which maintains a somewhat stable environment, but only there. Furthermore, after 30 years of indoctrination, the government has managed to make people content with the crumbs the dictatorial elite throws their way. In terms of thought and in many aspects, I dare say there's a setback of at least 30 years.
