Are you from the US? Let me remind you that your country (and to a lesser degree other rich countries) often intervene in these poor countries to control politics and maintain their (corrupted) interests.

(I don't know why the exact page isn't in wikipedia anymore, but here's the same thing more or less:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r... )
Do you think all these forced regimes were a force of good for the world?
Do you think they allowed for the honest and proper growth of all these countries?
Or did they cement bullshit ideologies (In my home country some people still cling on to calling any leftist opinion as "communist"),
and corrupted networks of international oligarchs (much like, regrettably, Russia seems to be doing now to the US).
<edit> Oh and let's not forget the stripping and funneling of natural resources to the rich countries </edit>
Corruption is indeed a big problem in poor countries, but it has been re-enforced and maintained by international interests of rich countries again and again and again and again.
