After the Nepalese government decided to allow Monsanto into their borders and subsequently force farmers to use genetically modified seeds, the citizens took to the streets.
The starving nation let Monsanto in despite recent and massive bans in a number of EU countries.
Monsanto' GMO crops have been shown by a team of 900 scientists to be virtually ineffective at combating starvation - in fact, they perform way worse than traditional and sustainable agriculture.
Now, according to some Nepal-based activists, Monsanto has been run out of the country by fierce protesting.
Threatening the nation' main crop, corn, Monsanto' GM corn would certainly not help the 40% of Nepalese citizens who are currently malnourished.
