Comments on: Vulture Funds http://www.humanitarianchronicle.com/2009/02/vulture-funds/ Standing for Justice Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:40:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Hamida Owusu http://www.humanitarianchronicle.com/2009/02/vulture-funds/comment-page-1/#comment-3349 Hamida Owusu Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:12:47 +0000 http://www.humanitarianchronicle.com/?p=749#comment-3349 Thank you for an informative post. It's so important to get the word out about these Vulture Funds which have long been preying on impoverished nations. The citizens of countries facing Vulture Fund lawsuits would be much better served if the money at stake were funneled into social services and infrastructure, like education, health care, HIV/AIDS treatment etc. We recently wrote on article on Vulture Funds on our blog, "Just Africa," that also discusses the "Stop VULTURE Funds" Act, introduced into the House of Representatives in June, and will hopefully put a stop to these profiteering organizations. Please take a moment to read our post at: http://tiny.cc/uJaOI For more information and for ways to support the new bill check out our website at http://africaaction.org/ Thank you for an informative post.

Making laws to stop such practices will only further increase a nation's burden. This is not the source of the problem.

I didn't know it was a common phenomenon but, I didn't even know it was a real thing outside the scriptwriter's imagination... It's an unmitigated evil!

This is an incredible evil that ensures that the poor remain and do not rise. And we wonder why the poor cannot throw off the chains of poverty!
