Eric Toussaint – Belgium
December 8, 2005 he writes, together with Millet Damien, President (CADTM France) on ‘Europe solidaires sans frontières’ (Europe solidarity without borders):
The World Bank’s bombast about good governance, corruption and reducing poverty is a farce. In reality, the World Bank is supporting an oil pipeline project that allows a notorious dictator to fill his pockets and thumb his nose at the world. Meanwhile, the people of Chad are bleeding themselves dry to repay a monumental debt without enjoying the fruits of a natural resource that is rightly theirs. We propose to take a closer look at a so-called neo-liberal model that has been forced on Chad by the international institutions for the benefit of the major powers and world finance.
