World Bank suspends funding for Tanzania tourism development project

The government of Tanzania says it does not violate the rights of its citizens. This comes as the World Bank says it has suspended financing intended to develop tourism in the Ruaha National Park area due to allegations of killings, rape and forced evictions of the local Maasai. Tanzania government spokesperson Mobhare Matinyi tells VOA's James Butty that anyone relocated because of the project would be accorded all their rights.
