African farming neglected by the World Bank... click here:
So, this was a really interesting article, because in the first line, the author writes: The World Bank, financed by rich nations to reduce poverty in poor ones...
The first line gives it away - the World Bank tries to help reduce poverty, but it's financed by the rich nations who have a say in where the help is distributed. I wonder what the author's purpose was in including that statement. Is Celia Dugger saying that it's because of the said "rich nations" that African farming has been neglected? Or is she just being really thorough and explaining the distribution of funds by noting from whom the WB gets its funding?
Talking about the new president and his goals for Africa was a good pull up from that. The evaluation probably deserved some more breakdown. What exactly did it say? And why is Professor Sachs calling it “a blistering, devastating critique”?
It's a good article, but the title and initial information were a bit too drastic without much support. Towards the end, I found that some of the quotes and other information could have taken the piece in a different direction.

Still, it was good to read.
