World Bank U-turn ends loan ban to Uganda over gay rights
The World Bank ends loan ban to Uganda over gay rights, planning to implement "mitigation measures" to protect LGBTQ people. Uganda's 2023 anti-gay legislation led to widespread evictions, violence, and arrests. The country lost millions due to frozen financing post the anti-homosexuality act, prompting international condemnation.
