Robert Zoellick – The Visionary Statesman of World Bank

Posted by Syed Nayyar Uddin on January 6, 2011 in World Bank Affairs |

 

“When prices of staples soar, the poor bear the brunt. Without global action, people in poor countries will be deprived of adequate and nutritious food, with tragic consequences….” – Robert Zoellick.

It is a matter of great satisfaction that the world bank’s chief has the realisation of the situation, which (global hunger) now in fact, has become a matter of human rights violation.

In order to avoid the tragic consequences of impending hunger bomb, the following proposal may be considered by the all concerned.

In this regard, It is proposed that all world governments (without exception) must give 50% of the government’s share to the poorest of the poor (right to vote gives them right to govern as well), in their respective countries, just like some countries include on mandatory basis, women & other sections of societies in their parliaments.

Until and unless, those feeling the pangs of hunger, are given a chance to directly participate, in the governance of their affairs, any planning to eradicate the menace of hunger, will be faulty from its inception.

  • To tell you the truth this guy has got a point,
    but in reality the solution proposed is all wrong.

    The problem with the food you see, isn’t quantity.
    It’s about the rich folk of the world hording what they want to.
    You can’t force them to give you what they desire for themselves.
    What must be done is take responsibility for what you think & do,
    and do it for yourself!
    if you can’t do the things the world needs, all by your lonesome.
    You’ll need to find other people to cooperate on survival.
    And that is the absolute truth, and I try to cooperate with all my Muslim Brothers.
    It’s not that I’ve divided the world into different camps, but the fact remains there’s only so much resources, and we must decide who we want to share them.
    If you believe as me, then you should see that we are all in this together.
    Simply accept the fact, and do what’s right, and start worshipping ALLAH.

    Read “The Confessions of an Economic Hitman” by John Perkins and you will know HOW the IMF & World Bank is skinning you alive, they are worst than butchers.

    Henry Kissinger said “The One Who Control the Money, Controls the World” …they are doing the same.

    …..and please get out of this notion that they are here to help you, they actually are here to crush you, in fact they have already done that….so, for us, we have no choice..
