heard from an international policy consultant from south sudan, who suspects that the authorities have committed a cover up. i think they kind of want to just keep them under the rug and maintain the status call and tell me forgot about it. but now the social media, the picture started showing up everywhere. the whole world thing was happening and it brought a tend to do an issue that could have remained small and could have gone unheard of for a while now. and so now they're under pressure to investigate is a good political strategy by them. because now they're looking at ways to investigate this and say that they're going to look into these issues and hold people accountable to ensure that they protect their reputation and look, look like their country that does can, is concerned about these people. but initially the objective was to maintain the status quo and hopefully all statistic passed by morocco getting pressure from the european countries, which it has political, economic relationship with them. so it's in their interest to ensure that they maintain that rhetoric, that these are criminals, that people entering the country legally,
12:17 pm
and they cannot backdrop and statements before us. it make them appear weak. almost 3040 people were just murdered and gun down in the show that the lack of human life is valued in the area. and if it gets cation because that the action that occurred there were wrong in people need to be held accountable. but seem as if the countries who shouldn't be investigating are protecting their own people. also long because president has officially resigned the mass unrest that his grips the south, asian country shows no sign of abating earlier protesters angered at worsening economic and social conditions breached the prime minister's office. he was appointed as interim president on friday, but people are demanding that he stepped down as well. oh, people use water cannons, sorry. the police use water cannons and tear gas against the demonstrators, but were unable to prevent them from taking over the premier's office. dozens of

12:21 pm
colombo, sher lanka. severe economic crisis has plunged the country into chaos as much of its national debt is owed to western powers. over the past half a century, the international monetary fund has given the nation 16 loans with sri lanka, going through a series of so called economic stabilization programs. despite the huge repayment issues, 3 long as prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum that the country would become wealthy with a decade. it's no secret to asia as the economic engine of the future. and in our endeavors to make sri lanka, a rich country by 2025, we aim to include asia even more and leverage strategic access to emerging markets ranging from india, pakistan, china, japan, and south korea to association of southeast asian nations. independent journalist benjamin norton says, i am f policies for sri lanka have benefited foreign powers and not the people of that country. the u. s. government as complete domination over both the
12:22 pm
international monetary fund and the world bank. the u. s. government is the only member that has veto power over the decisions of the bodies. and we've seen that throughout the global south in particular the i m f in the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs. that force countries to cut social spending, privatize their natural resources, and then sell off their assets to western corporations. usually the i m f demands that a country cut, pensions, reduce the minimum wage, basically implement policies that are bad for the people of the country and are good for the interest of foreign corporations. and it's very likely we don't know, of course, what's happening inside the talks between the sri lankan government and the i m f. but it's very likely that the i m f was demanding these conditions that were simply unacceptable for any self respecting sovereign government of sri lanka. we look at the history of the i m f. conditionality is that have been imposed on countries
12:23 pm
like sri lanka. they have been very arduous and they have been very undemocratic demanding that the country violate its own economic sovereignty in the interests of foreign corporation. so if we can learn anything from history, i think we can conclude that it's very likely that the sri lankan government was unwilling to given to these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. now, as we mentioned earlier, so long as economy collapsed under the massive weight of foreign debts, culminating in the default earlier this year. now several other countries face historic economic challenges and the possibility of failing to pay back on their own sovereign bonds, as ortiz, rachel blevins reports. days after massive protests sparked by dire economic conditions, lead tree longest president to flee the country. some are now warning but other developing nations could soon find themselves. 2 in the same position, in fact, the international monetary fund is warning that 19 developing nations are either at
12:24 pm
high risk or currently experiencing debt distress. their warning that those countries which owe more than $230000000000.00 to foreign bondholders may be the next in line to default on their debt. the biggest concerns right now include all, salvador pakistan gonna argentina and ukraine. so it comes as no surprise. so those countries are getting special attention from the i a math, the organization, which has a long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing nations. and i'll talk with sri lanka last month ended without a deal. the i m. s. the managing director says it is looking forward to working with a new government in the near future. we have been reaching out to the biggest creditors to sri lanka to ascertain their commitment to engage. so we can have that resolution. it would be better for the creditors to step forward, because then they have a better chance for the country to recover and for them to recoup more of their money. meanwhile, pakistan has been scrambling to make a deal with the i am math,
12:25 pm
securing an agreement for an additional $1200000000.00 this week. but well, that may provide some temporary relief. the nation has more than $40000000000.00 in debt payments coming up in just the next 12 months. pakistan is at a challenging economic juncture, a difficult external environment combined with pro cyclical domestic policies, fuel domestic demand, her unsustainable levels. the resultant economic overheating lead to large fiscal and external deficits in the fiscal year 2022 contributed to rise in inflation and eroded reserve buffers. but not to worry. the i m f is assuring the world that has everything to in care of even as it continues to offer. 2 loans with no strategy for the developing nations they are working with to ever get out of that debt. we have to rethink how to act more in the direction of supporting countries early preemptively building resilience to these shocks. and that goes beyond the
12:26 pm
traditional focus of financial sector fiscal policy. as for the question of whether the i n f would be willing to forgive all of that, when it becomes clear that countries are being crushed under the financial load. well, that has yet to happen. some have tried to make the case for ukrainian debt jubilee for years now. but the western organization and as partners in the u. s. in europe have only continued to add to that debt bubble, all in the name of unwavering support. and those are your top world news stories of the past week. make sure to stay tuned for in just about another half an hour because we'll be back with more ah, ah, need to come to the russian state will never be as tight as on the northland skiing with
