World Bank has joined in the fray of international organisations condemning Tanzania over recent attacks of homosexuals. The international financial body has suspended all its visiting missions to the country.

In an advisory dated November 7 that is posted on its website, it cites violations of human rights for the decision. "Given the recent developments in Tanzania threatening harassment and discrimination against the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender (LGBT+) community, all visiting missions to Tanzania have been suspended with immediate effect until we are assured of the safety and security of all employees," the advisory read in part. Since its inception in 1947, World Bank has funded over 12,000 development projects, via traditional loans, interest-free credits, and grants.
