GLOBAL CONNECTIONS TOUR: Impoverished Nations Debt Crisis
Each year, the people of the poorest countries pay over $350 billion to the
wealthiest countries of the world in interest on debts that can never be
paid off. The lives of 19,000 children could be saved every day if the debt
of these countries was cancelled and the savings put to good use.
Anti-debt activists from each continent of the "Global South" will talk
about this crippling debt and the adverse effects of the IMF and World
Bank-imposed economic policies on the world’s poor.
Magda Lanuza from Nicaragua, environmental activist and organizer for
rural women.
Ana Maria Nemenzo, President of the Freedom from Debt Coalition in the
Philippines.
Jonah Gokova, Chair of the Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development.
