| | The Hindu : Cancel Third World debt |
| | Huge as this amount is, it is only a small percentage of the total world debt for 2001 which comes to more than $45,000 billions of which $22,000 billions is the total public plus private debt in the U.S. alone. | | | It is now possible in this age of globalised markets and centralised computerisation of clearing houses to carry out and monitor such a solidarity tax on all financial transactions from bonds and shares to currencies to derivatives. | | | it is a debt incurred by a regime which is odious for the population concerned and should be annulled when the regime falls, since it is not obligatory for the nation to undergo unjustified suffering to repay such debt. |

| | Third world debt is a new form of apartheid, says archbishop (ENI) The unpayable debts owed by many Third World countries to the West amount to a form of oppression similar to the former apartheid system in South Africa, Anglican Archbishop Njongonkulu Winston Ndungane of Cape Town recently declared. | | | In his speech, Ndungane quoted United Nations statistics showing that developing countries made debt repayments of $1.66 trillion between 1980 and 1992--more than three times the original amount owed in 1980--yet still owed more than $1.3 trillion. | | | Though some progress has been made over the past year in finding solutions to the debt problems of developing countries, churches and Christian non-governmental organizations believe much more needs to be done by the industrialized countries to help the poorer nations, particularly in Africa. |

| | USATODAY.com - Activists protest outside World Bank |
| | The demonstrations are a spring ritual tied to the meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund and, as always, the causes were varied. | | | Scores of police behind 5-foot-high steel barricades kept the crowd well away from the World Bank and IMF, where finance ministers were meeting, when the parade reached that area. | | | Protesters paraded along more than 15 city blocks, pausing outside offices of construction company Bechtel and the oil-services giant Halliburton Co. Both are corporate interests that activists said are enriching themselves at the expense of the poor in Iraq and other countries. |
