| Bangla: Over $25m pledged in international help |
| 2007-11-19 |
| Donor nations and agencies have pledged over US$ 25 million in assistance to help Bangladesh meet the requirements rising in the aftermath of Cyclone Sidr. This assurance for help has come before the government has made any formal appeal for international assistance. The donor nations and agencies have also made further commitments to provide short and long term assistance to cyclone victims. |

| #1 Isn't it about time to withhold all foreign aid and even disaster relief to nations that have even a whiff of shari'a law in place? Such assistance represents nothing less than abetting further and significant abuse of human rights. Better that droves die of relatively self-imposed privations than further enable the detestable crimes against humanity routinely committed in the name of shari'a. |
