#MicroFinance institutions (MFIs) are not NGOs. They are profit oriented business with very high interest rate while NGOs are non-profit and #HumanRights based organisations. They should be separated and donor funds should only go to NGOs, not to MFIs.

The only difference between armed robbery and colonisation is how long you are going to stay.

Dear world leaders, all of your child protection promises are fake, as you failed us to stop wars. Your non-action against the war manifests you benefit from it.

India-Bangladesh is the deadliest border in the world, killing 1,236 Bangladeshis in the last 24 years. One of them is #Felani, an innocent girl of only 15, shot dead while climbing the border. Today is the Felani Day. #StopBorderKilling

Rice seedlings are the most important element in the aftermath of #floodinbangladesh when the farmers are fighting to recover. We are always with the affected people according to their needs. Sonagazi, Feni.

The #WTOPublicForum is anything but public. Neoliberal ideologues dominate the session set by the Secretariat and DG @NOIweala.

If the @WTO really seeks "better trade for a better world," it should not be afraid to listen to critical voices.

Stop corruption in mega-projects, stop irrational subsidy in the name of "Capacity Charge" in 🇧🇩 electricity and bring back the people's money to invest for people. @ZHMukta spoke in @Equity_BD and @trust_coast seminar on Climate Finance. @CLEANBD @UNFCCC @DohaCprd

$918m was asked for the Rohingya Response but only $230m (25%) was received (according to @RohingyaResp). Per capita allocation dropped from $12 to $8. We must reduce the management cost of the operation. Said the speakers at @Equity_BD rally. @UNinBangladesh @UNHCR_BGD

Warmest solidarity with the students and teachers in the universities in the USA, UK for making strong protest against Israeli genocide and occupation in Palestine and its US-European patrons. Stop Genocide, End Occupation, Destroy Global War Economy!

We reject false debt solutions of the @WorldBank @IMFNews. We demand immediate #DebtCancellationNow for the Global South. #DebtJustice @AsianPeoplesMvt

A crazy leader without accountability has no positive contribution in the society. They never smile. Only thought they have in mind is punishing people. They are always stopped in the history and they are only remembered to be hated.

Israelis are also talking for palestine. I liked she said, every single day we don’t speak out, it is another day late.

Now the farmers of Europe joined the fight against #WTO to bring Agriculture out of it. They said, we are producing food but not making a living out of it.
