Tyre company Firestone is at the centre of a pollution scandal in Liberia.

The firm has been accused of contaminating the water in the town where it runs a rubber plantation.

It has been blamed for causing ailments ranging from skin diseases to birth defects.

Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege report from the town of Kpanyarh in Liberia.

    :Burns out in my S550, with brand new Firestone Tires:

  • @PaleBunnyInfidel Aids didn't come from them you fool. It was made by white beast like yourself. You need to take your ass back to the cave and keep hiding from the sun.

  • FUCK Liberia - those people are so disgusting they'll all die of aids well before any of this shit does anything to them.

  • @Zari7000 Yes the black government of Liberia, who is corrupt like all governments in black run countries.

  • @truthulsetufree Blacks should be kicked out of all european countries, and how the fuck you know the "white" man did this. Firestone employs all races shitass.

  • Whites should be kicked out of all of Arika and black people should market their own resoures, crops, oil, rubber, gold, diamonds and whatever else they have. If this could be accomplished the white man's presence would be unnecessary.

  • someone is getting money for letting firestone come over into Liberia and using there land to make tires. I am so sick of the white man making money and killing our people. Fine some other way to make tires and get out of Liberia. These white beast are killing our children to make money.
