It is hard having much to say about it without knowledge sufficient to support some kind of specific opinion. Governmental factions/political parties that are responsible for this kind of thing, and that should lose power in favor of some preferable faction/party.

I remember a Nigerian immigrant of my acquaintance saying of a presidential election there at some point, "Imagine if the only two major candidates for president were Dick Cheney and Pat Robertson."

Yeah. This is a horrifying story, but reacting to it with "the government of this African country that I know almost nothing about is evil" seems like a bad reaction when I don't have any relevant local knowledge at all about where I could expect a better government to come from.

Yes, that seems right.
