The bank has been accused of “enabling” alleged violence by the Tanzanian government. There are more than 21,000 people from around Ruaha who are also facing eviction by the government. Rangers from the $150 million project have been reported to have killed and beaten cattle herders and fishers, had raped women and taken cattle on the national park. The institute says that villagers were told to leave their land. But these people should be held accountable . More than 850 villager have challenged the evictions in a high court of law.
