Why in the world does The World Bank finance all these ultra-expansive dams in poor third world countries? The interest payment itself will take a poor country forever to pay off, environmental impact not withstanding. I start to believe that it's the western companies that will be build the dam (suppliers, consultants, builders) who are using the poor people to line their own pockets, and the world bank is just a predatory agency. If it truely cared about the poor people, it should build schools, health centers, and so on. No wonder the World Bank never got any country out of poverty. It's a farking shame.
