You Are Being Lied to About Somalia's Pirates
Brödtext: Who imagined that in 2009, the world's governments would be declaring a new War on Pirates? As you read this, the British Royal Navy - backed by the ships of more than two dozen nations, from the US to China - is sailing into Somalian waters to take on men we still picture as parrot-on-the-shoulder pantomime villains.

Yes: nuclear waste. As soon as the government was gone, mysterious European ships started appearing off the coast of Somalia, dumping vast barrels into the ocean. The coastal population began to sicken. At first they suffered strange rashes, nausea and malformed babies. Then, after the 2005 tsunami, hundreds of the dumped and leaking barrels washed up on shore. People began to suffer from radiation sickness, and more than 300 died. Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN envoy to Somalia, tells me: "Somebody is dumping nuclear material here. There is also lead, and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury - you name it." Much of it can be traced back to European hospitals and factories, who seem to be passing it on to the Italian mafia to "dispose" of cheaply. When I asked Ould-Abdallah what European governments were doing about it, he said with a sigh: "Nothing. There has been no clean-up, no compensation, and no prevention.

Poor Countries - the North's Radioactive Dump

Poor Countries - the North's Radioactive Dump
by Jorge Piña

ROME - The developing South has become the dump for hundreds of thousands of tonnes of radioactive waste from the world's rich countries, a colossal business which is linked to money laundering and gunrunning, say lawmakers and activists in Italy.


''The trafficking of radioactive waste, a large part of which goes to countries of the South, constitutes a business of gigantic proportions, amounting to more than seven billion dollars a year in Italy alone,'' Massimo Scalia, the chairman of an investigative commission set up by the Italian parliament, told IPS.


Scalia said that every shipload of nuclear waste represents around five million dollars in profits.


The Italian justice system is investigating the trafficking of radioactive waste to the developing South, particularly African countries like Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, Algeria and Mozambique.


The information gathered in the two main legal probes, carried out in the northern Italian cities of Milan and Asti, and the data compiled by the parliamentary commission demonstrate that two of the methods for getting rid of such waste are dumping it into the sea in special metal containers designed to sink to the bottom, or purposely sinking the ship carrying the waste, and reporting it as an accident.

For decades toxic waste has been sent to Africa.


It is very troubling that we think this is a problem of ships being captured. What about the clean up of all of this. Dumping waste into water effects all of us. Do these people not realize the impact that can have world wide. We are lucky that sea life can't fight back, because we have used the ocean as our toilet for far to long.
What about all the fishing off the same coast that goes back to Europe?

Bara en stilla undran då... Vilka är deras finansiärer? Eftersom de blir ju rika på kuppen och det väl alla ni aktivister att man inte blir...

Nu måste jag erkänna jag inte läste igenom allt, för jag hävdar att de får stöd från Israel för att krossa den islamistiska regeringen och samla in pengar till denna kamp med denna verksamhet.

Men detta kanske står någonstans i någon av länkarna?
