11.09.2006 Il bilancio delle vittime dell'inquinamento da rifiuti tossici ad Abidjan, la capitale della Costa d'Avorio, si aggrava ancora: fonti del ministero della Sanità parlano oggi di sei morti e novemila intossicati. I rifiuti chimici erano stati scaricati nella notte tra il 19 e il 20 agosto da una nave battente bandiera panamense e trasportati illegalmente nelle discariche della città. Nella capitale ivoriana una vera e propria emergenza sanitaria con migliaia di ricoveri al giorno per disturbi polmonari, eruzioni cutanee, vomito, mal di testa e diarrea. Secondo Greenpeace la nave avrebbe caricato i rifiuti in Spagna e navigato per mesi alla ricerca di un ormeggio rifiutatogli da ben 5 paesi. Secondo altre fonti, invece, avrebbe puntato direttamente Abidjan dove sarebbe rimasta ormeggiata a lungo prima di effettuare lo scarico reso possibile grazie ad una "mazzetta" di 26 milioni di euro pagata alle autorità del porto di Abidjan. "L’Africa si sta trasformando in una vera e propria pattumiera delle nostre nefandezze, degli sprechi dei Paesi ricchi, dei Paesi occidentali” - denuncia l'ex direttore della Misna Giulio Albanese.
