WOW 😱😢
Farmers will lose their income, and forced to sell their land
Just maybe, this is the whole purpose behind 'deportations'🤔
Land grab is a political leprosy, now part of P2025 revolution

#WorldBank's #LandConf2025 climate rhetoric masks a mining agenda that ignores #Indigenous resistance & tramples their right to say NO to exploitation of their lands.

Just a month ago the Tanzanian govt & the World Bank made promises to end ranger violence.
But, the violence hasn’t stopped.
Villagers are being killed, their cattle stolen, their lives destroyed. The WorldBank MUST take responsibility and act now. Every day of silence costs lives.
WB's land reform agenda faces 'climate-washing' allegations ahead of key conference - "The research suggests the real aim is to open lands for agribiz, mining of transition minerals & carbon credit schemes.”

12:00 noon Monday, May 5 - Faculty at Columbia, Tufts and Georgetown begin vigils for abducted students and colleagues It has been two months since Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil, Georgetown instructor Badar Khan Suri, and Tufts graduate student Rümeysa Oztürk were abducted by the Department of Homeland Security. Their professors and colleagues will begin holding weekly vigils until they are returned ***Visuals: black-clad faculty will gather in silent vigil on multiple university campuses to hold photographs of abductees*** New York City, Washington, DC, and Somerville, MA - It has been two months since recent Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil was abducted from the lobby of his apartment building as his pregnant wife watched in horror. It has been seven weeks since Georgetown postdoctoral researcher Badar Khan Suri was seized outside his home. It has been six weeks since Tufts graduate student Rümeysa Öztürk was snatched from the street by masked agents. Still held in detention in Texas and Louisiana, these scholars are accused of no crime, facing only baseless charges of antisemitism for speaking against Israel's devastating war in Gaza. University leaders have yet to forcefully condemn these attacks or the lies behind them. But Mahmoud, Badar and Rümeysa are not forgotten by their colleagues, professors, and fellow students. And we will gather every week on campus to bear witness to these abductions until every one of them comes home. What: In the tradition of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and the many other Mothers'/People's movements protesting political abduction and disappearance across the globe, faculty and staff at Columbia, Tufts and Georgetown universities are initiating a weekly vigil, holding photos of abducted students, colleagues, and alumni - Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Oztürk, and Badar Kan Suri. We demand their immediate release and return, and call for accountability and justice. Who: Faculty and staff of Columbia, Tufts, and Georgetown Universit…
Columbia, Tufts, and Georgetown faculty will be hosting vigils Monday for those abducted by the Trump admin — Mahmoud Khalil, Badar Khan Suri, and Rumeysa Ozturk.
Will gather every week until they’re free
“If our Presidents and Boards won’t speak out to protect us, we will…”
If you want to defend Israel’s actions in Gaza, the sole topic of conversation is if it’s okay to forcibly purge an entire population from their historic homeland by systematically bombing, shooting and starving them while destroying their civilian infrastructure, solely because of their ethnicity.
World Bank is using climate action to push land reforms that prioritize corporate interests over local communities & environmental protection.

#Worldbank's fresh offensive on land rights EXPOSED in Climatewash. New report reveals how Bank is exploiting the #climatecrisis to push global land grab agenda that benefits corporations at expense of local & Indigenous communities.

@mittaloak.bsky.social
The #WorldBank's land agenda isn’t about #ClimateAction – it’s about corporate profit.
Catering to agribusiness & extractive industries, it threatens land, food, & #climate justice worldwide.
