Those governments don't want tractors or economic development. They want guns to threaten their neighbors and their own people. Egypt imports 50% of its caloric requirements and has done so for a half century. 95% of Egyptians live within a few miles of the Nile just like they did 5,000 years ago. 45% of them are illiterate. And one of the few countries who helped them with irrigation technology was Israel and they hate them and want them all dead.
