Please let me know who you are referring to? And by the way follow our Christmas campaign that target gasoline swindlers in Ghana

Let me first add that I'm no expert on tax, and that I here refer broadly to how dev NGOs interpret and communicate ie campaigns to Danish audiences. I argue there's an increasing focus on membership, finance and clicks over educating audience. This isn't only a Danish trend.

However, a concrete example is how your own NGO @oxfamibis puts emphasis on moral indignation making message fit campaign template. I questioned the incorrect interpretation of the Acacia case in Tanzania as shared on Facebook here: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154806539270964&id=144965885963 …. No reply back btw

Hi Maya. Would you not agree that it's a step in the right direction, that governments in developing countries challenge and stand up to the big coorperations of which many don't pay a fair tax - if any - and demand more? We think so and that was our take on it.

@oxfamibis if you read my original & elaborate comment on your FB update (which you never answered) you'd see that it's questionable what is going on in Tanzania in respective case. Too many unanswered questions to conclude the way you do. Thus, your question above is absurd.

Making millions and not paying tax in any country is absurd. We haven't included all the nuances of the case in our post, but the overall message of a government in a developing country taking legal action against a big tax avoiding cooperation is positive.

But Acacia is paying tax in Tanzania, here from 2016 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.acaciamining.com/~/media/Files/A/Acacia/press-release/2016/Agreement%2520to%2520Prepay%2520Corporate%2520Tax%2520-%2520Final.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwjGvazehoXYAhXGJcAKHWUBA2sQFggcMAE&usg=AOvVaw3rN-36y7RmJTzbt3kfe4ks …
