As usual, #IMF enforcing capitalists' debts over #Pakistan by forcing #austerity over a #ClimateCrisis stricken country, while (2 years on) promised funds by international banks remain #Greenwashing stunts.
'..why there has been a delay, Mr Ye said that the amount pledged was for reconstruction.. "..the new climate risk profile and the possibility that these areas may be flooded again,”...'

#Introduction - I'm building #autonomous#communication infrastructure in the #global south and writing a petition to the #IMF#World#Bank in line with the letter by Budhoo (1990), and specifically demanding the IMF/WB restructure according to the original bancor plan proposed by Keynes before it was butchered at Bretton Woods, and #organizing with poor and working people to leverage a general strike big enough to ensure that our petition is not ignored-and that there are consequences if it is.
The executive board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a third review of Ukraine's $15.6 billion loan program. This decision enables the release of $880 million designated for budget support.
Just had a video call on #Signal with Buba Kuteyah, who lives in the #Gambia and has neither refrigeration nor running #water, as is typical in his area. He and I are writing a petition re: GSRMs to the #IMF & WB and organizing a global general strike. Until we have the numbers to ensure this petition will be heard and addressed appropriately, we are building autonomous mesh network communications infrastructure to mediate free south-to-north labor organization.
