Somali "Pirates" & Toxic Waste 1 of 3

in 1993 Belgian, Canadian and Italian troops were involved in the rape, torture and murder of Somali boys and gilrs while on Peacekeeping duties. This is the background to the Black Hawk Down incident (made into a film by Ridley Scott) where Somalis shot down a Blackhawk helicopter. 18 US soldiers died compared to 1000 Somalis. The Somalis were mostly civilians who had wounds to their backs
Recent headlines about Somali Piracy have failed to mention why some fishermen were demanding money from foreign ships.. Since 1994 various European nations have been using Somali seaspace as a dumping ground for nuclear and other toxic waste. The Tsunami of 2005 washed poisonous barrels up onto the shore which damaged the health of local Somalis and led to birth defects quite apart from kiling fish. An Italian aid agency was implicated in using "aid money" to finance the dumping which also occured on land, Some Somali fisherman with their livelihood destroyed and families injured turned to other ways of raising money and justice

@Voiceofcameroon the Italians, did the same in Italy in Calabria region, but the only difference is that they, berried all the  toxic waste in and under new structures.Calabria is on a toxic dump. Sicily dumped toxin in the Mediterranean, for many years, Somalia is not the only victim, they are responsible too....

How can the Italian Government allow this to happen to Somalia?. I hope the people of Somalia are doing their best to STOP this dangerous practice by the Italians. Africans MUST unite to fight the dumping of toxic waste on our Motherland. The Somalians Must take this alegations to the Highiest court of justice. Other African countries Must be alert by this video. We will form a serious union to fight against dumping of toxic waste from developed nations in Africa. This video is just the beginin
