World Bank forestry projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) ignored the rights of indigenous pygmies and overestimated the benefits of industrial logging in reducing poverty, the bank itself said in a report that concluded internal guidelines had been breached.

Why on earth does UN not impose embargo on tropical wood from DRC. So instead DANZER here in Winsen/Luhe/Germany destroys forest in DRC and makes genocide to pygmies and other forest depending people. I asked him to practice fair trade with tropical wood, but he refused. Nevertheless we intend to change this by small scale fair trade with tropical wood and hope when embargo comes DANZER is stopped from robbing wood from DRC. Reinhard
I believe that Africa will never develop with World Bank assistance no matter what they Say. This institution is a prolongation of coloniasm and slavaey. Why shoul Africa contnue to work with this instutition that has created more pauverty then ever Africa had befor this institution started interveningin the afican economie.
World Bank is in deed a working gendarm of what you call globslisation which purely a plot to contol world resources by few. Wester countries must realize that by pursyuing these time of policies will on a longer run detroye their own sais stability and properity. The internation mouvment or immigration is an indicator that World Bank approach and western countries is a total receipt for desasty for now and ever. Many of african conflicts and wars are a direct results of the World Bank activities on the continent. Building welth for few to the detrument of the majority. The future will tell.the out come will definatly be that of ancient empire and moarchy the western countries. The collaps of the super power will be certain provoqued by teir own citezen.
