Reported in the Times of London - "Somalia's secret dumps of toxic waste washed ashore by tsunami." And all along virtually everyone's been ignoring tsunami effects in the Horn of Africa, Yemen, etc. "The huge waves which battered Somalia after the tsunami in December are believed to have stirred up tonnes of nuclear and toxic waste illegally dumped in the war-racked country during the early 1990s..." - What was done in the dark will show up in the light of day... As I see it the questions are: Which countries/corporations dumped it? And who in Somalia was paid to allow it? Is any of this related to the death of murdered Italian woman journalist Ilaria ["Hilary"] Alpi? Some folks say Alpi and her driver were shot dead in Mogadishu because of sensitive information she'd discovered on illegal dumping. |
it is such a shame and that question only makes you think about the western countries and their belief in humun rights and justice, there is so much that goes unreported in the developing world and i hope one day we will be able to answer this question and many more.

Sooner or later, an accountability will be placed on those criminals, who have damped waste TOXIC within the shore of somalia and benefit from the absence of the somalia central goverment. It is only a matter of time, a justice will be done. We will teach them unforgetabale lesson

If such TOXIC waste have been dumped within shore of Somalia, without prior or legal permission of the authority concerned or dumped ilegally with the collaboration of some corrupted Somalian officers, it is a damn crime against humanity and should be investigated and all necessary action must be taken to that so that such illegal incidence should not occur in future. We all want a peaceful world free of nuclear weapons and any country involved still to produce nuclear weapons are doing aganist humanity.
