| dc.description.abstract | PARTLY TRUE: Our country’s total foreign debt is USD 37 billion. However, this person [the one who posted on social media] is citing a false figure... [He] claims that we obtained loans of up to [USD] 100 billion [from USD 71 billion] over the past two years. However, everyone knows that no country gave us loans after we declared our inability to repay our debt. No country has the legal right to provide loans to us... How can we obtain loans if no country is providing loans to us? Should I go and rob the Bank of England?
