It's not so clear any of these regimes would fall that quickly, the situation is so desperate in many sub Saharan African countries that abandoning the population to their sort probably wouldn't hasten the depart of the leaders in practice. Are these NGOs and the American aid program doing the people a favor by putting up with these total thugs? I don't think so. We all know that "tough love" is sometimes the only answer with individuals. I think this is also true with societies. Better to pull out and announce a quarantine of the country until things change. And if that is not working, it won't take much to topple these type of "Mafias".
