{UAH} WORLD BANK AUTHORITARIANISMS!

This is the President of the @WorldBank Mr. Ajay Banga (photo attached). This is the person who signed the discontinuation of World bank financing for Uganda for passing the anti-gay law, a clear interference in the democratic processes of Uganda, especially since the law was voted for by the representatives of the Ugandan people in Parliament. We all know that there is a judicial process that can be initiated to challenge the legislation in the courts of law as was already done successfully exactly 9 years ago today in August 2014 when a Ugandan judge annulled the previous anti-gay legislation. But clearly today these numb-skulls do not want to follow due process and instead prefer to angrily dictate their anal sexual preference on the people of a sovereign independent African state by force, even when Ugandans said "No!"

Meanwhile, for many years, economists around the world have been talking about the debt trap that poor developing countries find themselves shackled in. So when the World Bank itself removes its shackles  from your feet, Ugandans should celebrate. It is something that we clearly failed to do by ourselves for decades out of the weakenesses of our greedy leaders and their dependency symptoms, therefore what is happening today can only be a God-sent miracle in disguise for the country, one which we will only recognize several years down the road, but for now Uganda is at least free to seek other development partners on better socio-economic terms. Next year when the World Bank comes back pretending to care as they seek for a way to interfere again in our democracy, interfere against the will of our people and our internal affairs, trying to bribe our politicians again by offering new funding, Uganda should first ask them how come a professional international financial institution like them put aside its core development funding business model and instead valued anal sex over economic development, poverty eradication, democratic legislative governance processes and national sovereignty of the will of the people of a UN member state? We should also then ask Mr. Ajay Banga to first clarify in writing what exactly is the geo-political goal of his institution, who and where does he receive his orders from, and where is it written in World Bank's values that they must overlook democracy and impose a sexual behaviour even against the express democratic will of the people of Uganda?

This is clearly political rape.

Let me hereby urge all African leaders to take note of what is happening between Uganda and the World Bank today so that they immediately start working on reliable alternatives and strategies. In the past year or so, there have been ample warnings to all of us against our over reliance on certain international economic and financial mechanisms.

We must also remember that just recently, some countries were telling us not to get financing from partners like China. Imagine what pit Uganda would be in today if it had listened to all the defamatory advice from those countries and cut off all ties with other development partners?

My humble advice to the Global South is that the World Bank should never be any country's primary source of macro-economic financing ever again. They will surely be back to Uganda by next year or so because Third World countries are the World Banks biggest and only customers, and the countries that control the World Bank (and are ordering it around) will  definitely want to have us in their political shackles again, but are currently just playing their usual "need" card so that we ourselves stupidly beg for them to put their shackles back on our necks and feet again. The time to start standing for our own national dignity, national sovereignty and our own national socio-economic interests with fellow Global South partners is now.
