How to feed the teeming billions hungry of the world..?
What will it take …to improve your life? …for your children to be better off? …for mothers to be healthy? …for all to get a good education? …to end poverty? More than 1.3 billion people around the globe live on less than $1.25 a day. Fighting poverty in times of crisis may be challenging, but we can’t take our eyes off the most vulnerable.
World Bank Group asked everyone a question, “What Will It Take?” and welcoming people to post their questions on Twitter using #whatwillittake, and share their solutions with the hashtag#ittakes.

Yet, since the question asked by the World Bank on Facebook on September 6, 2012, the veteran economist Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmed replied:-
Quote. “Since, a recent study tells that countries which took loans from WB & IMF have experienced increasing suicide rates, there is hardly any answer required to the question, that what it will take to end hunger of those one billion people, who go to the bed hungry, every night. Your extremely hard and harsh loan terms are killing the poorest of the poor people in many ways, what to talk of hunger. Don’t forget that very soon WB & IMF, may be tried for crimes against humanity; because your loans not only breed and enhance corruption, they increase poverty, which also breeds terrorism. Kindly immediately revisit all the inhuman terms and conditions of your loans, particularly given to the poor and developing countries; and also consider writing off these loans which are in fact, sucking blood from the poorest of the poor, to serve the lavish life styles of your employees, consultants, advisers and contractors etc.”Unquote.
What do you think? Is World bank helping to fight against poverty, or they are the “murderer” ?
