That really makes you wonder. I can't help but feel that the government just doesn't understand the technology and therefore does not see the opportunity in it. Or perhaps its about oppression. Sometimes government officials in poor countries are among the few who live rich opulent lives and they may not want things to change. This mining operation may be seen as a threat to the status quo or something like that.

It could also be a short term thinking and wanting more from those mining profits as additional taxes.
