IMF loan
The government has announced – seemingly with jubilation -- the approval of $7.6 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). People of this country can eat less instead of bearing the humiliation of begging all the time from the donors for a few billion dollars. It is better to die with honour than to live on one's knees.

You can say so because your kids do not starve.
That money, trust me, is not going to feed anyone's children but will simply be divided amongst the current rulers
Did they tell you?

- You can say so because your kids do not starve..... Kids starve because of aid. Aid never helps the poor. Aid cripples the economy of a country.
Our economy needs an injection of money. Other donors are also waiting for IMF's green signal.
Our Economy needs an injection of honesty. Rest will follow automatically. Just look at Iran. They have achieved so much by rejecting all aid and living with respect and integrity. They are a Nation. We are not even a country unfortunately.
