Bokero Posted May 1, 2007 Castro Thanks for posting, this interesting development in Caracas.. I would like to take this debate back to the relevance of Breton wood institutions in the development of Somalia and Africa.. I would urge all to visit the IMF website at www.imf.org, then look at the Somali debt, the interests that we have accumulated since the money was forward to barre's regime, you will simply be astounded!! we will have to pay more than double what we borrowed! and it continues to go up! The most challenging tasks awaiting us is not the attainment of Peace.. this will be achieved sooner or later! But the defeat of poverty, underdevelopment, ignorance (clannism is one of them) and want! And am afraid to say none of our current crop of leaders have both the vision or capacity to tackle these issues.. the answer may lay in the Diaspora! but again they would need the invitation and the freedom to undertake that momentous task but do we have the leadership to realize this? i am not hopeful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tahliil Posted May 1, 2007 What a double standard hypocrisy this is!!! Is the president of the world bank still fighting corruption in the third world?? Is he making any progress by tangling this epedimec in the thirld world countries? What are the chances of success for his mission of getting rid of corrupted leaders who feed and favor for their wives, kids and mistresses? He is one heck of leader to fight corruption...TALK ABOUT NIGERIAN CORRUPTION! GO WOLFOWITZ...GO!! GO!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nuune Posted May 1, 2007 Somalia joined IMF on August 31, 1962, that is actually long time, and we still haven't paid the money we got from them in that year I applaud president Hugo Chavez for dat brave action here is more about SOMALIA and IMF ================================== - 71128175 in millions <<< That is the amount we supposed to pay on 31-march-2007 -112003997 = that s the overall I guess, it is not that much I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tahliil Posted May 1, 2007 What's the bill of reaping and ripping of whole continents (Africa, Asia etc) from their natural resources (oil, daimonds, gold, copper, cobolt etc) for yrs and years on end?? I think its time for us to produce the the real bill and charge these pple (IMF, World Bank whatever they call themselves) accordingly of what they've stolen from us... Debt with Interest kulahaa, Debt forgivenes kulahaa...We just need what's ours with no Interest at all...since the 18th Century they have been looting and exploiting us, you go ahead and do the math and tell me how much we should pay them back then???

Fabregas Posted May 1, 2007 @Emperor, who is my clan and how do you know we are not isku reer?You wouldn't want to hurt your ilmadeerayaal would you? @Abwaan, Nuclear weapons would be as a deterrent. Too many proxy wars have been fought inside Somalia. Also i think this is a very good move by Chavez. However, the old socialist communist system stand little chance in todays world. Maybe Cuba could be seen as the exception. But i still think Chavez needs to get a little balance, for we are not in at the heigh of Soviet power...and the spread of communist ideology. Even China has learned to make some compromises( to the good of their economy). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tahliil Posted May 1, 2007 Colonialism/exploitation etc.. are essentially an exercise of colloboration, period!!! I vehemently reject that statement...it's like saying Africans participated the Slavery Trade and should b as guilty as well...which is blatant lie and is of course another justtification for those who profited from that horrible act of slavery.. Saxiib Africa is it's infancy stage...and there are those who try so hard to kill that infant baby in its earlier yrs, those who r preventing that African baby to crawl or stand up by using ideas such as the divide and rule tactics, imposing dictators on that little baby, supporting warlordism etc...there is no collobaration: an infant is bound (by the law of nature) to accept the will of the master, the parent, the one who got ahead and stood up before he had the chance to stand up and defend himself....that's all...This aint a plain field Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castro Posted May 2, 2007 Good for Venezuela. Unfortunately, we have neither the natural nor the human resources necessary to achieve this sort of feat in our lifetimes. Maybe in a hundred years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wisdom_Seeker Posted May 2, 2007 What’s Chavez doing? I have plans on becoming a member of the World Bank’s Boards of Directors. You’ve to eat these parasites from inside out Nevertheless, Chavez is doing what is in the best interest of his country, unlike the warlord regime who will sell Somalia to the lowest bidder.
