This is an intentional component of this system that enables this sort of exploitation. Each individual feels (to some extent justifiably) that it is someone else's duty. Each is just doing what is best or necessary for them, not necessarily happy about it, but the mine foreman has a family to feed, you think congo's government should deal with it, the petty bureaucrat knows if they change it they'll lose their job or worse. Everyone acts as they believe they should or must and now here we are.
