Summarization
These tweets address the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and its involvement in Africa. There are questions raised about the IMF assisting a government that disregards human rights (Tanzania) and if the IMF is truly committed to assisting Zimbabwe with addressing its debt arrears. Other African countries are looking into the use of digital currencies. Some people question the IMF’s intentions in Africa and some view their involvement as a detriment. The tweets also address Ghana’s history with the IMF and how it is proposing to avoid its services.
