The governments of Burma and what government there is in Sudan are a long way from representative of their people or country. Much of Africa is a kleptocracy. The governments there are not like Singapore, Korea, Malaysia, or Thailand. IF you bribe the local government, their nominal opposition, and provide some security training, weapons, and some minor intelligence help on their opposition (while also subtlely funding some selected opponents) you have a rather activist form of neo-colonialism. As a result, you can get resources priced below market - possibly indirectly and hidden. Look at the looting of Russian resources for some examples.
