Looking Back in Anger

This article by Ann-Kathrin Schneider first appeared as an opinion piece in the Pakistani daily "The News" on November 12, 2007. It discusses World Bank president Zoellick's recent visit to the country and his pledges to increase funding to Pakistan.

The author demands "The World Bank should not fund more large water infrastructure projects in Pakistan before redressing the mistakes of the past. Instead of Robert Zoellick demanding "deeper reforms" from the Pakistani government, the Pakistani people have every right to urge "deeper reforms" from the World Bank before accepting more projects."
