Wow. This doesn't really surprise me though. Despite already being so poor, the populations of so many of these countries continue to be ruthlessly exploited by their corrupt "leaders". They do it in plain sight as if entitled to capitalise on the suffering of others. It's perplexing to witness blatantly unethical political behaviour that is so widespread. It makes me wonder if some psychological or cultural phenomena is taking place under-the-surface amongst African officials. Have they no dignity?
People get corrupted by power very easily, and there's soooo much money to be made on the back of an ignorant and naive populations...
Usually, countries are run by clans/gangs who treat the country's resources as their private properties. Nothing new tbh.
