**World news, outside the US.** Original rationale: unless moderated, internal US news and politics often dominates world news in English, because of its demographic position. This magazine/community is to post news and articles from around the globe, but posts must have a mainly non-US component or focus. Submissions related in some way to the Alan Weisman book *The World Without Us*, which is about what would happen if humans suddenly disappeared from the planet, are also welcome. :)

At least three million Tanzanians were pushed into poverty during and after the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Bank says in its latest report. In the 20th edition of Tanzania Economic Update, the World Bank says the number of Tanzanians living in poverty surged from 14 million in 2018 to 17 million by 2022.

This figure continued to rise, with an additional 300,000 individuals falling into poverty by December 2023, bringing the total to 17.3 million.

Pretty sure the World Bank pushes people into poverty too.
