nope, thats whats going on there right now. The western firms are getting the money (OK, some goes to the corrupt leaders), the african nation are getting sucked dry, the people don't get anything.
We need to help them to establish their own industry, therefore the money keep inland and can be used for the african people. Sure you need to get rid of the corrupt dictators first.

That is also the reason why i don't like the WordBank so much, they are acting in favour of the western industries, they are not really helping the african nation on a longer term. they only offer short sighted solutions.
