Tanzania Told to Sever Link With Monsanto

no wonder they dont want there, they dont listen to U2 or give a damn what Bono says about GMO  






"Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete is an enthusiastic supporter of Monsanto, but now pressure is mounting on his government to reject GMO technologies as solutions to end hunger
Normally Tanzanian lawmakers would 'prove' their radicalism by blasting rival parties, state authorities, public corporations or ministers for shoddy work done or millions that go missing. They would hardly ever take a swipe at a multinational corporation, much less an American one.
Yet that is what happened recently when Hon Halima Mdee (Chadema) called upon the government to sever its relations with the international seed company Monsanto, which is a major stakeholder in the country's campaign for a green revolution.
She reminded the government that the firm had caused farmers misery and suffering in many countries, including the US, where it is based."
