Because their economies and their tax revenues, with which they pay back their foreign debt, is always in doubt. To be owed money by these governments is always a risky proposition.

A good analogy would be - lending 10 dollars to a street person and expecting them to pay it back to you, with interest, from the pay they receive from their next job.
