World shuns Tanzania for human rights abuses

– Tanzania’s second-biggest donor, Denmark, said it would withhold $10 million (R140 million) worth of aid money, citing concerns over human rights abuses and “unacceptable homophobic comments” made by a government official.

The decision came on the same day the World Bank said it scrapped a plan to loan Tanzania $300 million after the country reaffirmed its policy of banning pregnant girls from school. – Reuters
