Burkinabes not impressed. A strong article carried on a Burkina Faso portal condemns the Wolfowitz appointment to the World Bank in no uncertain terms. It says (French) Washington is clearly giving itself all the means possible to "encircle and suffocate the rest of the world in order to bring it to adopt the U.S. worldview". The article complains bitterly about the "dividing the cake" mentality which prevented European leaders from standing up to the U.S. on this. In return for accepting Wolfowitz at the Bank the UK was promised the UNDP top job, France the WTO one and Italy UNHCR. Where does that leave international institutions? In the words of Le Faso: "Refuges of careerist technocrats awaiting a gilded retirement from their governments - mortuaries where the coffins of the poor countries are prepared".
