scratch
like so many of the other places we send money, the place is run by a dictator. he takes all he wants, and leaves the rest for his goons. the people that the help was to go to, either dont get it, or pay what little they have for scraps.
its the same story, different setting in too many places on earth. throwing money at a bad situation never makes it better.
maybe the people got lucky, as i heard the palace was demolished.......
