Last time I checked, big foreign corporations are still looting and pillaging all over Africa as if independence never happened... I wonder why?

edit: This includes Shell, a Dutch corporation, btw.

I'm guessing relative weakness of the governments and rampant corruption.

Yeah... tons of bribe money will do that to the governments of weak nations - it's almost like Cuba had the correct idea.

Cuba should start bribing those governments to stick it to the West
