WORLD BANK BOYCOTT

WORLD BANK BOYCOTT

last night we had an economist from senegal, demba dembele, talk to us about the world bank and its negative affects on africa and in particular senegal.

he was joined by a lady from india too.

basically WTO, IMF, world bank, pump money into “developing nations” knowing full well that it comes right back to the leading nations through debt.

a new global network has started up from some “developing nations” and grown into a very well worked out system BOYCOTT WORLD BANK, it tries to get groups to not support the world bank by not usings its BONDS.

already many city municipalities, universities and groups have signed up to this boycott, its modelled on the method which got rid of apartheid in south africa. cities in the united states which have signed up are
san fancisco
boulder
milwakee

university of new mexico
wadham college, oxford, england

we are trying to get brookes to sign up to this boycott, we encourage you to find out about the boycott at

www.wbbeurope.org

and try to get your uni/ group to sign up

this is architectural. if you explore its details you see why. also many NGO environmental groups are behind this boycott due to the UNSUSTAINABLE systems the WORLD BANK enforces, ie dam building and forcing african countries to start buying U.S tomatoes and stop planting their own
