World Bank suspends $90 million loan to Uganda over anti-gay law as currency dips

Following the suspension or freezing of aid packages worth around $25 million by three European countries to Uganda, the World Bank has suspended a $90 million loan to Uganda over its passing of the notorious Anti-Homosexuality Bill which mandates life imprisonment for anyone convicted twice over same-sex sexual behavior.

The loan was to go to go to Uganda’s health system but the World Bank has announced that it will postpone the lone while it reviews whether Uganda’s development objectives could be negatively affected by the passing of the bill.

This makes me incredibly happy to see. I have a lot more faith in humanity as a whole after reading this; if there had been zero reaction to this, I would've been extremely disappointed.
 
Agreed. The world has no need for such useless cunts.
 
For years I have given money to every drive in every African country that had had mass starvation. I will never again give a penny to any country that has these laws. Having been on business trips to a good many of these countries I can tell you that while the average person is in abject poverty the leaders like that fat F'n head of Uganda live in palaces that make The Queen of England's look like a slum. Note these homophobic pigs are always fat.

By the way all the ideology that has caused this homophobia comes to Africa b y way of The. U.S. evangelical churches.

While South Africa has its problems the First line of its constitution reads "Equal rights to all regardless of Race sex and sexual orientation"

What sucks is that folks who aren't necessarily homophobes are hurt by these decisions. Including Gay Ugandans.

Yes, I don't think this kind of decisions are useful at all. Just more suffering for people who have not any way to change laws and more hate.

Also I'm not sure if not getting a loan from world bank is really that bad for a country.

While I don't expect better from a troll like you, the homophobia come from Europe - Catholic evangelists, specifically.

Generally speaking I'm highly doubtful about the capacity of control of the citizens over their goverments. In the case of Uganda there are two more factors, almost a third of the parliament is not directly chosen by election and second the heavy influence from religious bigots.

I considere this blockade like a punishment for ignorance of a population that doesn't have a way to get some better information. The same people who has decided the antigay bill will manage this to create even more hate. People is not going to get in the streets to defend poor gays, they have just get another reason for irrational hate.

And about the effectivity of a loan blockade, yes sure, it's fast money but not free money. One of the biggest problem of developing countries economies are the high debts. Frequently the money of a loan is not even used in what it was supposed to be spent and a lot of it is lost for corruption. The blockade is hurtful for the interest of some people in the goverment but not necessarily for the country.
 
I don't donate to any sort of African Relief....................simply because I don't give a rats ass. It doesn't matter one bit if their ignorance and bigotry is the result of American Religious nuts, European Religious nuts, or their homegrown witch doctor nuts......screw em.

Nope, my friend both houses are called The Palace of Westminster. The House of Lords and The Commons are two separate entity's.
As some Lords hold a heredity title, while others hold a life peerage.
MP,s are all elected by their local constituents, following their passing the interview by their local party officials....(*8*)

Of course it does. However, i think the "subtlety" of The workings of The UK Government, may be passing you by here.

yes
parliament is an institution, as is, The House of Lords.
However. To become a lord, if not heredity, is by HMs consent, not the local constituents, of whichever political faction they may belong to. That is all i am trying to explain, ya grumpy Elderhostile Gay.

In the UK when we talk of Parliament we tend to be referring to the House of Commons (the lower house), as this is the legislative center of power and thus works easier as a form of short hand in most cases. Although technically parliament refers to both the houses of Westminster - the lords and the commons.
On the ratio of un-elected to elected. Currently there are 780 members of Lords (all of whom are un-elected) who attended (there are 55 more who either cannot attended or have been banned). In the commons there are 648 (soon probably to be reduced either by Scotland leaving or boundaries resetting). So in ratio terms, the un-elected outweigh the elected. However, only the lower house can create law, and the upper house merely scrutinizes and challenges. They can block the law a number of times if they wish, which can lead to laws being thrown out or changed until the lords are fine with it. However, if the law is seen as important the Commons can invoke the Parliament Act which allows them to ignore the votes of the laws and pass it.

The Palace of Westminster is just the physical location of the two houses. Wherein meets the upper house, The House of Lords, and the lower house, The House of Commons. Parliament and the Palace of Westminster are not the names of either house, more the overarching body/location. The houses are called the Lords and the Commons. Its a bicameral system, if they just had one name it would be super confusing.
