because corruption is endemic. incidentally, this is not limited to africa, but is common in third world countries around the world. once a government gets into power, they sell the rights to those resources (and government contracts, and pretty much anything with money value) for pennies, but get huge bribes for themselves. the entire culture of government is different in africa. people in the west talk about corruption, but they really have no idea how bad it can get and how little the people of the country can do about it. nobody else wants to, because they are all benefiting from it, so it is hard to clean up.
