"Toxic waste was first dumped in Somalia in the late 1980s, but accelerated sharply during the civil war which followed the 1991 overthrow of the late dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. Local warlords, many of them former ministers in Siad Barre’s last government, received large payments from Swiss ...

However you said 'As soon as the government was gone, mysterious European ships started appearing off the coast of Somalia, dumping vast barrels into the ocean' I DIDN'T write it - it is taken from the article which, after three pages of a thread, I was hoping you might have actually read by now. Y...

Haha my folks have been here for 10 years. Actually my father is just retiring, he's paid his dues big time. My brother and I keep following my parents around the world, they can't get away from us - although they try their best! We're a very nomadic tribe. Next stop Australia! Well maybe, perfectl...

Speed, you're looking at it as a black or white situation. The article itself states that some are just plain old bandits and some form some kind of "volunteer coastguard". Hardly anything in life is as simple as black or white. It would be unwise to ignore these allegations especially co...

and that's my subjective opinion, of course

Why are they so afraid of being insulted? I don't understand why there's even a need to coddle and protect these people in power, many of whom weren't even elected. This media law is a baby-step towards free speech, that is why the UAE is still being criticized. For a country that's always aiming f...

No, you certainly can't reform the entire system overnight. But this media law is so underwhelming as to be near pointless. The Dubai metropolis also didn't pop up overnight (though I could've sworn that building wasn't there yesterday...) but here it is now. I would much prefer a less opulent but ...

first of all , I would vote for the media to more honest and clear , me as a local want's to know what is really going on around me (Curiosity kills ) however the media is a powerful weapon that can be used for or against someone or a country and we all have seen the impact of false or un proven wi...

Speedhump

SH, that's not the point. It's so very hypocritical, that they want all the love and attention towards the UAE when things are fine and dandy, but can't take the heat when things are uncovered that might tarnish the image of the place or its leaders. As Kid says, people havea right to know exaclty ...

You're right, speed. The UK is hardly the barometer for free speech these days. And hate speech is absolutely despicable, whether it's done in the name of religion or otherwise. But I will not condone silencing them. Why? Because it just drives it underground and those who spout the hate, as bad as...

Speedhump

corrupt already, this is Africa.

Speedhump

As Kid says, people havea right to know exaclty what is going on - so long as it is the truth and not just some made up rubbish. Anyway how they couldn enforce this on foreign journalists is beyond me, ones working here yes, outside no. That's a good point and is why such a limitation serves no pur...
