The real problem is that most of the people there (black, white, and others) reject the mental frameworks that have been proven to work elsewhere, perhaps due to distrusting the West, or for whatever other reason. In my mind this mental framework features capitalism, democracy, and a style of thinking that emphasizes - or at least accommodates - kindness, openness, progress, thinking in nuances. Basically, humanism. From my experience there, some population groups will reject ideas they see as white, which includes capitalism (origin: probably Europe?) but not communism (origin: Germany!). Others, including white folks, might feel inclined to embrace those "white" ideas specifically, but will reject other parts of the Enlightenment framework. Many think problems should be solved by force instead of careful and nuanced consideration, which is seen as effeminate. Corruption is more of a symptom than a cause.
