It was with shock that I read the news today of how a ship-load of
toxic wastes was turned back to the UK where it came from.
Is Africa now a dump site?
With latest events, the answer to my question is not far fetched.
Yes it has become one, because the greedy and unscrupulous few have
decided that pleasure and self satisfaction of theirs is enough reason
to jeopardize the life of an entire continent.
Wastes from all over the world now find their resting place in the
impoverished states of Africa.
Even in the presence of widespread education and awareness of the
dangers posed by these materials; greed rather than wisdom still
directs our leaders.
If it is not in Ivory Coast, it will be in Zambia or Nigeria. These
people have continued to do this because INSIDERS are aiding them, yes
Africans are helping to bring these toxic material to their homeland,
why? GREED.
Trafigura is yet to face the full legal accountability for what
happened in Abidjan. The Amnesty International carried out an
investigation into it, what was the out come? They Presented us with
the "Toxic Truth". Now what will an illiterate know about downloading
and accessing an e-book? This is pure deception, yet our so-called
leaders are aloof watching.
Enough is Enough to Western Underdogs and their counterparts, Our
Corrupt Leaders.
Brighten the corner where you are, Say No To Corruption.
