Why did these institutions continue to pump money to Uganda when Northerners
were camped by the very same government? Are Gays and Lesbians of a more
value to them than Northerners?

But why is the gay bill punishable in Uganda only ? Nigeria passed this bill
last month to no reaction.

Where is the World banks priority. You can't condemn 30 million people
because a few dozen people are being called names. what kind of friends are
these countries that do not respect the values and culture of other people.
Why all of a sudden, this obsession with homosexuality. Is this some kind
social engineering by the west or what. Let these guys give one benefit of
homosexuality to humanity, I bet they cant, but for some sinister reason
they keep forcing on people who couldn't care less for homosexuality.
The people running the world bank should be ashamed .If I were in the
cabinet , I would definitely advise the government to forget about that loan
and seek other sources of funding for whatever project.

WASHINGTON - The World Bank on Thursday said it postponed a $90 million
loan to Uganda's health system over a law that toughened punishment for
gays, an unusual move for an institution that usually avoids wading into
politics.
"We have postponed the project for further review to ensure that the
development objectives would not be adversely affected by the enactment of
this new law," World Bank spokesman David Theis said in an email.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed an anti-gay bill earlier this week
that strengthens already strict legislation against homosexuals, and makes
it a crime to fail to report anyone who breaks the law.
Homosexuality is a taboo in almost all African countries and illegal in 37,
including in Uganda where it has been criminalized since British colonial
rule.
The World Bank, a poverty-fighting institution based in Washington,
typically refrains from getting involved in countries' internal politics or
in contentious issues such as gay rights in order to avoid antagonizing any
of its 188 member countries.
The bank still has a $1.56 billion portfolio of projects in Uganda, which it
ranks as one of the world's poorest countries.
The loan postponement follows the announcement by Norway and Denmark that
they would hold back donations to Uganda because of the law. Other donors
have also threatened to follow suit, and the United States said it was
reviewing ties.
Western anger over the anti-homosexuality law has triggered a sharp fall in
Uganda's shilling currency, leading the central bank to intervene for two
days in a row.
The World Bank's executive board had been set to approve the Ugandan health
project on Thursday. The money was meant to supplement a 2010 health loan
that focused on maternal health, newborn care and family planning.

Meanwhile Sweden and Denmark cancelled all aid obligations.
