World Bank Famine in Niger

In 2005 a food crisis hit Niger. Out of a population of 12 million, 3.6 million went hungry and 800,000 children faced starvation. But activists in Niger claim that the famine was not caused by drought. "This is a structural famine. A permanent famine," says journalist Moussa Tchangari. "It was caused by 20 years of structural adjustment programs.

World Bank, IMF, have performed genocide under the guise of economics.

I have been to Niger. The government there is very corrupt, and the leaders promised them the money from the cash crops...but that never happened. The rains came early this year, and the people's fields weren't ready. This government has to start being responsible for thier actions.

@BellumSacrumBellum28 You wouldnt know, you're probably one of those infidels that think Africa is a country. You've probably never travelled out of your own country, let alone out of the state you live in. You've definitely never been to Africa, and clearly you don't have a valid perception of what the world beyond your shores is. I live here, I know and experience these people and while some of them are suffering, theyre human, unlike you, you ignorant dick.

@caseylynncurtis When I think of those starving kids in Afreaka, it reminds me of that old beef commercial with James Garner. Beef, it's what's for dinner. Remember that one? Only I put a new twist one it. It goes like this..... Visualize a poster with one of those skinny, boney Afro monkeys with flies buzzing around their eyes holding an empty, dirty bowl and the caption reads...NOTHING! It's what's for dinner. Have a pleasant day and don't get lost in Afreaka. You will never be seen again.

@ambular4jesus the IMF and the World Bank are the hidden hand of corruption in the African countries they have given 'loans' to.

@BellumSacrumBellum28 you are one of your governments own creations participating in your own manipulation. How does it feel to be part of the most ignorant group of people in the world? How does it feel to be stupid and insensitive? Well you might never even know because you are so wrapped up in America's necessary illusions. Africans are faced with hardships you'll never encounter or understand, but you are faced with having a commodiefied identity you ignorant twat.
