Hundreds of Tanzanians demonstrated in Dar es Salaam on Saturday to protest what they called "bad policies" of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Placard-waiving demonstrators marched through several streets shouting anti-globalisation slogans. "The demonstration has been staged to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Bretton Woods institutions (on Sunday)," said Gemma Akilimali, an official with the Tanzania Gender Network Project, one of the non-governmental organisations that organised the march.
