Spot on horse - further it is actually easier to do get things achieved in these regions if you have the right contacts unlike the less sovereign risk.
A civil war or election troubles do not shut a country down. Even a terrorist realises he cannot kill the goose that lays the golden egg. A politician will always support any business that supports him. I come from Asia in civil war - business still functioned. The only investment that ceased was from the wimps in Europe. Unfortunately they get left behind.
The irony with ethics is they are selective. Companies that are loudest tend to have profited the most and now use ethics to stymie competition. I would have respect for Apple or any other firm to return funds they profited from unethical practices.
