You have heard about this many times before, at google, it takes you just one button to get all 246,000 results for the searched keywords of 'Toxic waste on Somalia'. Those are just the words, the impact on the ground as have been reported by the UN has been one of sorrow as many more have died of or are dying of diseases and other impacts of the major tsunami that hit Somalia roughly the same way it hit the Seychelles and other African coast along the eastern side.

 

As soon as the government disappeared, there were companies from the European union, mainly Italy that were dumping chemical and biological waste onto he shores of Somalia, the UN and the E.U have said many times that they cant do something about yet they do not allow one ship to dumb even the slightest waste on its shores.

 

If you have read at least 3 or 4 articles from the google search, you will see that the effect of this wastes to be damaging to the people of the coast both mentally and health wise, yet the WHO just talks about disease while not talking about what causes disease, which is mostly the uncontrolled waste dumped upon the shores of Somalia.

 

Even environmental groups like Nairobi-based U.N. Environmental Program were taking advantage of the warlord rule in Somalia by dumping tons and tons of harmful waste on the shores of Somalia. They even planed to build two incinerators to be installed in Somalia, that would handle at least two 550,000-ton shipments of toxic waste next year for an estimated profit of $4 million to $6 million. In other words let the warlords decide upon the issue of their territories by giving the profit while they give them the space to kill as many of the Somalis as possible by not only building or trying to negotiate with warlords to build incinerators in Somali land but to also dumb some more of that on the way to Somalia in its coast.

 

The UN's fiscal irresponsibility must be dealt with and we as Somalis must question that people who claim to protect each nations territories, While the UN was blaming Italian Mafiosi for dumping waste from the Swiss and Italy they themselves were dealing with crucial and dangerous materials and chemicals waste, which in the end they labeled it to Somalia and now that same waste is not only killing as many Somalis as our guns have killed but in recent future with the tsunami that brought hidden dangers in front of us, it could by far exceed what our guns did.

what do you think about the article and its views... I have No idea who the guy is...but i am sure he views can be added to here.

 

I am not keen of the EU for pushing Somalia while they pull it back with its waste and Financial lies.

Its a good article, relevent and something that must wake us to the situation of our homeland.

 

It makes me helpless when I read such things, for what are those fools fighting for, what future or world are they creating for their own children?

[Mohamed nuur]

I asked myslef the same question...

 

what future do we have if we dont even know a future or plan a future for our nation?

 

This guy, as he is named Samantar Abdirisaq is a good thinker and is producing sensational blogging.

 

Hopefully he usues his Profile, I want to see what other article will he produce.

what a crucial point, what matters is not the italians but the actual somalis who feel that it will be appropiate for them to sell the land of the people, its not their land, its not their property... Its the land of the people and the people should know what do with it... I dont think a normal thinking somali would sell land to put some waste in it.

Indeed a grieving fact.

Adduunka oo Hadda Kusoo Baraarugey Halista Sunta Lagu Duugey Soomaaliya

 

Warbixin Ku Saabsan Halista Sunta ku Duugan Soomaaliya oo ay Soo Saartay Hay'adda Qaraamada Midoobey u Qaabilsan Degaanka....

 

Dhegeyso Warbixintii VOA ee Sunta Soomaaliya

Warbixin ay toddobaadkan soo saartay Qaramada Midoobey ayaa shaaca ka qaaday halistaas ay sunta lagu aasay xeebaha iyo badda Soomaaliya. Halistaas aadka oo Soomaalida dugsaneysey ilaa markii uu dagaalka ahliga ahi ka bilowday dalka.

 

 

Klaus Toepfer (bidix) oo ah agaasime sare oo ka tirsan UNEP iyo Rachmad Witoelar (midig) oo ah wasiirka Indonesia u qaabilsan deegaanka oo ka hadlayey xarunta UNEP ee Nairobi, February 22, 2005. Warbixinta Qaramada midoobey waxa ay sheegtay in badgariirkii uu sababay suntii ku duugnay badaha Soomaaliya oo dabooladii ka qaadameen ama haamihii ay ku jireen baddu soo tuurtay kuwaas oo halis gelisay caafimaadka Soomaalida

Warbixinta Qaramada midoobey waxa ay sheegtay in aafadii badgariirka ee soo gaartey xeebaha Soomaaliya in ay firdhisay sunta Nukliyeerka iyo waxyaahaba halista ah ee ku duugnaa xeebaha Soomaaliya. Arintaas oo dhalisay khatar caafimaad oo aad u baaxad weyn oo soo food saaray mujtamaca Soomaaliyeed.

 

Nick Nuttall oo ah Afhayeen u hadlayey hay'adda Qaramada midoobey u qaabilsaan deegaanka ee loo yaqaan UNEP ayaa VOA u sheegay in 15-kii sano ee la soo dhaafay ay shirkado reer Yurub ah iyo kuwo kaleba ay Soomaaliya u isticmaali jireen goobta lagu duugo qaybo aad u kala duwan oo ah sunta nooca loo yaqaan nukliyeer "nuclear" iyo qashinka loo yaqaan "hazardous wastes".

 

Afhayeenka UNEP waxa uu yiri "Waxaa halkaas kujira sunta shucaaca ah ee uranium, sunta maduulk aah ee leads, sunta biraha ay kamid yihiin cadmium & mercury, qashinka wershedaha, qashinka cisbitaalada, qashinka kimikada, iyo sun kasta oo la magcaabo".. Waxana uu intaas ku daray "Khabiir qamara sanaaciga yaqaan ma ahan in aad tahay si aad u fahamtid sababta ay sidaas u samaaynayaan, waa in ay tahay deganaansha la'aanta halkaas ka jirta awgeed"

 

Afhayeenka UNEP waxa uu yiri shirkadaaha reer Yurub wax halkii Tan oo soo sun ah oo lagu duugayo Soomaaliya ku bixiyaan khaarash ah $2.50, halka ay ku bixi lahayd $250 tankiiba haddii lagu aasi lahaa Yurub.

 

Waxana uu afhayeenka UNEP intaas ku daray in badgariirkii ka soo bilowday Aasiya uu burburiyey ama kala furfuray haamiha, fuustooyinka iyo waxyaabaha kale ee suntaasi kujirtey, kaddibna waxaa hirarkii baddu aay sunta u xambaareen ilaa 10 kiloomiter oo gudaha dalka ah (ama berriga ah). Waxana uu sheegay in aysan macquul ahayn in la ogaado inta tan ama tirada waxyaabaha ay suntaasi kujirto ee yaala xeebaha Soomaaliya, laakiin waxa uu sheegay in arintu ay 'halis weyn tahay".

 

Raadka ay suntaasi ku yeelatay mujtamaca deggan xeebaah Soomaaliya waa arin masuubo ah ayuu yiri afhayeenka hay'adda Qaraamada midoobey u qaabilsan Degaanka. Waxana uu sheegay dhibaatooyinka ay dadkaasi la kulmeen in ay kamid yihiin "cuduro halis ah oo qalajinaya sambabaada, qufac aad u xoogan, afka oo dhiig ka soo baxayo, dhiig ku furmaaya gudaha caloosha, maqaarka oo diidaya kimiko aan la aqoon" ayuu yiri, asagoo ku daray "Waxaa jira cuduro badan oo laga soo sheegayo tuulooyin kuwaas oo ah inta aan fursada u helay in aan eego. Laakiin waa in baaritaan dheer arinta lagu sameeyo si loo ogaado baaxada dhibaatadan".

 

Aafadii badgariirku waxa ay bisihii december ee sannadkii tegey ka dhacday meelo badan oo kulaalaya badweynta Hindiya oo ay Soomaaliya kamid tahay. Mowjadahaas soo gaarey Soomaaliya ayaa lagu soo waraamay in ay badda ka soo saareen ama dabooladii ka jejebiyeen waxyaabihii lagu soo qaaday sunta lagu duugey xeebha Soomaaliya.

 

Soomaaliya oo aan dawlad lahayn ilaa 1991 waxaa ilaa waqtigaas lagu soo waraamayey in sun lagu duugayey xeebta dheer ee dalka, Qoraalada arintaas horay looga qoray waxa mid kamid ah cilmi baarisyadii uu ka sameeyey Bashir Sh. Mohamed (PhD) .... Guji.....

Hazardous waste as we all know is any discarded material that may pose a substantial threat or potential danger to human health.Waste such as arsenic and heavy metals are very toxic and capable of causing acute health problems.Historically the west have been disposing their waste on a landfil that caused mainly leaching.This was not liked by the people so the hazardous disposal went through many changes so that not to alarm the public about the danger.Their is no one particular way in the world that is convincing to be a a proper way of disposing hazaedous material.since many countries are loking for easy way to dispose their waste they have to look for easy target like Somalia (wixi xunba xawaleh).The major issues the new government should target should be to came up with a proper way of tackling poverty first then loss of the biodiversity.

I have an advice for the new government (if they care to read this) they should capitalize their liability at their disposal.The liability is the municipal waste that can generate electricity through the emision of methane gas.Few of African countries have used the method of generating electricity by building land fills . This waste inturn emits gases that can run electricity for big cities like Mogadishu and Hargeysa.The catch is though that they must produce one million tons of waste every year to run this big cities.The new government must realise that they can not compete with big super powers like US for oil from the Arab world.This process will involve alot of political and financial aspects but hey it will generate electricity for free.
