A hard-hitting report from the World Development Movement charts recent civil unrest in 23 developing countries directed against policies championed by the IMF. Citing evidence drawn from official documents that the free market policy model is failing, it points out that protesters in countries of the South come from across the social spectrum. Peasants, the unemployed and indigenous people are joining trade unionists, public sector workers, religious leaders, doctors, teachers, small businessmen and, in some cases, even policemen in venting their anger. Of the 23 countries documented, three quarters have IMF-sponsored privatisation programmes. In 2001 seventy six people, including a fourteen-year-old boy, were killed, and thousands injured and arrested in protests.
