Have you seen Madagascar, or "Cote d'Ivoire" (Ivory Coast in english?) . The way money came in didn't make people happier nor the land better (see corruptions, pollutions, largest ever ethnic wars). It's not all black and white (without pun), but it's certainly not all good and I appreciate people standing for a better humanity. Cheers all.
