Why do you think dictators need to find scapegoats for the nations ills?

There is no need to find a scapegoat for any problem if somebody actually wishes to resolve the problem.
However, there are many governments, especially dictatorships, whose leaders do not wish to improve the lives of their inhabitants lest they be overthrown. (Educated people prefer democracies.) However, the leaders cannot tell their citizens point-blank that they have no interest in catering to the citizens' demands, since this would cause riots. So, the leaders claim that some third party is proving to be an obstacle to this realization. This allows for people to be angry at a third party and release the pressure against overthrowing an inherently unequal and illegitimate system.
The secondary benefits are that:
- It makes it appear that only one obstacle separates people from their liberty and therefore makes Dictatorship tolerable.
- It makes the dictator look like a powerful resistor to this evil and therefore an advocate for the people he is actually betraying.
