Oct. 6 (GIN) \u2013 Farmers, indigenous peoples and other social justice groups will be taking to the streets this week in 10 cities, calling for an end to ruinous business-driven development plans for poor countries around the world.<\/p>\n

According to the \u201cOur Land Our Business\u201d campaign, millions of people are being thrown off their land because large corporations have been given special rights. Showing their disapproval, participants will stage “creative resistance” outside the World Bank\u2019s annual meeting in Washington, D.C. and in other cities from Oct. 10 to 11.<\/p>\n

Over 200 organizations from over 100 countries have signed on to the group\u2019s Our Land Our Business statement, the group said. Other cities planning actions include Nairobi, Lagos, Mexico City, Delhi, Kinshasa, Johannesburg, Dhaka, Brussels, and London.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe World Bank\u2019s Doing Business ranking gives points to countries when they act in favor of the \u2018ease of doing business.\u2019 This consists of smoothing the way for corporations\u2019 activity by, for instance, cutting administrative procedures, lowering corporate taxes, removing environmental and social regulations, or lowering trade barriers,\u201d according to the event organizers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ranking system also encourages land reforms that tend to make land just a marketable commodity, easily accessible to wealthy corporations. In the process, they neglect human rights, the protection of workers, and the sustainable use of natural resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the planned DC activities is a panel discussion on Agricultural Development with panelists Ruth Nyambura from the African Biodiversity Network, Kenya; Okok Ojulu from Anywaa Survival Organization, Ethiopia; and Ibrahim Sidibe from National Rural Youth Federation & National Coordination of Peasant Organisations, Mali.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking for the World Bank\u2019s Social Fund in Gambella, I protested the widespread coercion and forced relocation of people,\u201d recalled Ojulu. \u201cToday I live in political exile in Kenya. I am protesting the World Bank on Oct. 10 because I know firsthand how their policies negatively impact communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

To coincide with the #WorldVsBank mobilization, the Oakland Institute, a leading think tank on land issues, is releasing a new study \u201cUnfolding Truth: Dismantling the World Bank’s Myths on Agriculture and Development.\u201d In addition, the Institute will also release six new country fact sheets that examine reforms promoted by the World Bank in Kenya, Uganda, DRC, Laos, Cambodia, and Uruguay. \u201cIn each country, the Bank\u2019s policies served as a catalyst for massive land grabs, dispossession, and forced eviction of countless small-scale farmers,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n
