The cheapest solution is a dictator, but he needs to be tough and be willing to improve the country enough in the long run that people will live a better life, then his son and grandson will inherit the country and improve it to be a democracy.

See Taiwan and China for the positive examples.

It's all so clear...

Need to keep those China sea lanes open.

Just allow and encourage owners of tankers and cargo vessels to arm their ships with a few .50 cals, and a dozen trained mercenaries armed with assault rifles, SAW's and grenade launchers.
