Statement of Support from the Nelson Mandela Foundation
Dear Professor Yunus,
We have noted developments in Bangladesh regarding the Grameen Bank and its founder, Professor Muhammad Yunus. We believe that the legacy of Grameen Bank and its 8 million families, toward fostering peace and overcoming poverty, serves as an important model throughout the world.
We therefore whole-heartedly hope that the country's leaders will find a peaceful resolution to the current dispute so that Grameen Bank and Professor Yunus can continue their work.
Yours sincerely,
Â
Achmat Dangor
Chief Executive
