AnimeIsTrash posted:I was reading some news about China no longer allowing Japanese fishing imports because of nuclear waste, and I learned that many countries dump theirs in Somalia. wtf during the 1980-1990’s , toxic waste was dumped on the highway south of Bosaaso on the mainland by a mafia group known as ‘Ndrangheta’. They even set up the killing of an Italian journalist who was investigating it and pinned it on an innocent Somali man who was killed last year by bomb strapped to his car after he came back from spending 17 years wrongly imprisoned in Italy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilaria_Alpi fanfic insert posted:It's why they became pirates, pollution collapsed their fisheries so all they had were poor people with lots of boats The toxic waste was mostly dumped on land, the illegal fishing bit is a whole different issue.

“Hundreds of containers filled with garbage , most probably radioactive as well, were used to fortify the port of Eel Ma’aan , located 30 km north of Somalia’s Mogadishu. Roads were paved with toxic waste dumped by European firms, whose criminal conspiracies would fit perfectly into a John Grisham or Mario Puzzo bestseller. One of the Mafia turncoats revealed how, in 1992, the Mafia transported yet another 1,000 barrels to Somalia, the trash containing elements of uranium oxide, cesium and strontium, hidden in 25-meter long containers. Supposedly, the Italian secret service, assisted by a CIA contact, facilitated the acceptance of the cargo. The payment: 75 cases of Kalashnikovs, 25 cases ammunition, and 30 Uzi machine guns. The weapons, delivered in the Ukraine, were transported by the “Jadran Express”, registered in Malte, to Trieste and, by truck, to the “Mohamuud Harbi,” a Somali fishing vessel, anchored in La Spezia. The toxic and radioactive waste was loaded onto another fishing boat, the “Osman Raghe.” Both vessels departed at the same time. Once arrived, the weapons were delivered to the headquarters of Ali Mahdi, the toxic waste was buried in remote areas, part of it under the Hiran-Mogadishu road, and some was dumped near the Webi Jubba River, near the border with Kenya. The payments for the dumping locations, 1.2 billion lire, were, allegedly, in cash, provided, as one Ndrangheta traitor declared, through accounts at the Credit Suisse in Lugano, while other transactions were made at the Hellenic Bank of Sarajevo” Basically Italian contractors with Mafia attachments hid nuclear waste inside of construction projects, which is something they did in Calabria as well, then later when the civil war happened they just bribed people to dump it openly.

FrancisFukyomama posted:does South Africa have any anti China political factions? it sounds like the anc/sacp and eff are all pretty strongly pro china. is it just the right wing parties? The right wing parties push xenophobic rhetoric against Indians and African immigrants mostly. China is a lesser focus for them. The opposition party, the DA, takes most of their talking points from American mainstream media or the Democratic Party, adapted badly or not at all for South Africa. Like the Dems they are strongly anti-Russian, and the mayor of Cape town made noises about detaining a Russian ship in the docks at one point, which I think went nowhere? On China, they are oddly quiet, despite the increasing influence of China in South Africa. China even set up political training camps here which the ANC (and SACP?) sends their people to for education. In other countries the opposition would've leapt on that as a major sin. Here it's just a normal thing most people don't even know. The same vague sense of sinophobic liberalism you see online is here in ZA, to a lesser extent. Usually people remember the stories pushed about Chinese companies being abusive against Africans. Anything that reminds people of racial oppression is gonna stick in the mind here. I've mentioned before about how the USA is influencing ZA politics directly and indirectly, so it's only a matter of time before China hatred is ramped up from somewhere. But for whatever reason it's minor now. I'm now veering into speculation, but I think a big part of the reason is because Naspers owns 46% of Tencent. Naspers is possibly the most influential voice in politics in South African history. They were created by racists and mining magnates with the express purpose of bringing about apartheid to lower labour costs. They succeeded and are now the biggest media company in Africa. Somehow they escaped scrutiny after the ANC came to power. I suspect that they would have pushed anti-China rhetoric more readily if it wasn't for that investment into Tencent they made 20 years back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dFcF1WNoZE "We’re told that countries across the Global South are poor and plagued by violence not because of colonialism, imperialism, never ending Western wars, resource theft and destabilization campaigns. Rather, it’s because they’re ruled by corrupt and greedy people who seem to be innately authoritarian and backwards due to some sort of cultural deficiency that prevents respect for human rights and causes state failure." "To discuss the colonial and racist framework used by Western policymakers to justify ongoing imperialist aggression in Africa and how it’s being folded into the new Cold War on Russia and China, Rania Khalek was joined by Zubairu Wai, Associate Professor of Political Science and Global Development Studies at the University of Toronto."
