Street Riots Form in Response to Monsanto Intrusion into NepalAnthony Gucciardi The starving nation let Monsanto in despite recent and massive bans in a number of EU countries. Monsantos GMO crops have been shown by a team of 900 scientists to be virtually ineffective at combating starvation in fact, they perform way worse than traditional and sustainable agriculture. Now, according to some Nepal-based activists, Monsanto has been run out of the country by fierce protesting. Threatening the nations main crop, corn, Monsantos GM corn would certainly not help the 40% of Nepalese citizens who are currently malnourished. It seems that the Nepalese people are quite aware of this fact as well, as hordes of activists demonstrated their opposition to Monsanto and genetically modified creations on the city streets. According to the activist group Stop Monsanto in Nepal, the protests may have succeeded. In a post on Facebook on April 6th, the group stated: Celebrating Victory! We knew from internal sources that the Nepal-Monsanto-USAID deal was postponed indefinitely but we didnt have a public document to claim the victory officially. But Hari Dahal, Joint secretary and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MoAC) mentioned on a recent BBC Sajha Sawal that Monsanto will NOT be allowed in Nepal. The news comes just after Monsanto was taken to court over knowingly poisoning workers and causing devastating birth defects.Argentineantobaccofarmers stated that the biotech giantknowingly poisoned them with herbicides and pesticides and subsequently causeddevastating birth defects in their children.
