African leaders are busy signing agreements with major US software 
companies, granting them long term monopolies in return for short 
term donations. They are proudly announcing short-term benefits but
remaining silent about any long-term costs. Foreign corporations know 
well how important immediate benefits are to politicians and how 
difficult it is for them to resist such opportunities.
