this is one of the most dangerous places on earth fought over by armed as the most groups pirates and bandits somalia is a country with no law and order a no man's land where an armed escort is essential at all times. this film will record a seven hundred kilometer journey across the somali desert in search of a rumor that will die. mysterious containers filled with toxic liquids that suddenly began appearing on somalia's coast this anomaly in december two thousand and four destroyed everything here. it also washed ashore a strange object. there's poison inside of this. most. of the food if it's left like that eventually it will break open and spread

the lies that no one see there she gets through that. window but there are no coast guards in somalia to keep an eye on such things and anybody can come in just dump whatever they want. on both sides of the barrel is a sturdy hook hardly used when being lifted by a crane and so more easily thrown overboard. we have negotiated a meeting with the council of village chiefs at the fish were killed by the barrels that were leaking that's what killed them. because even the color of the water changed when anyone went into the sea here they see develop skin problems. the genius in the eighty's alaska so what do you do when your fish disappears from the sea what are your options were not quote on the have to get all the glue up

a little bit. before about three quarters of the people here lived off of fishing boats nowadays it's barely one in twenty some of turns of power is safe others have nothing. we asked the village elders whether we could talk with one of the pirates like many of the others he is a former fisherman now forced into piracy. i became a pirate because of all the foreign ships that have been destroying our fish and livelihoods that's what really made us become pirates. get financial backing from some people and then we go looking for ships to capture. that syquest played a role in this this is not the. sort of all of course for three hundred miles around here there's toxic waste still smoking all but. somehow the one who gets too close will lose consciousness. eight hundred

kilometers away mogadishu is our next destination. we head for the hospital. for several years the somali doctors have been struggling to deal with numerous check defamations of the genitals the bladder and the urine a canal there are the typical result of exposure to dangerous chemicals. in things. because you have this is something. you do you have any ideas of seducing. to me for. responding. to you. in this hospital and this is this by march one thousand nine hundred four the militias have become old powerful. taliban and u.s.

forces were getting ready to leave. a young italian journalist. was covering their withdrawal. drive and persistence led a lariat i'll pay to uncover a completely different story one of the odd fishing boats. to promote the fishing trade in somalia the italian government give trawlers to a company called shift go however shift those boats did not seem to do a lot of fishing they made trips back and forth to europe in somalia they were under the control of an armed group laryea suspected that the boats were transporting something other than fish you know there's rumors ford. show on her last trip to mogadishu all alone met with a small e national who mentioned the traffic in toxic waste or fish from can go fish a goal she decided to check the story in the town of both old area both sides of.

it was there that the journalist met with one of the leaders of an armed militia group and this was to be her last interview. where is about to get a seat held it why do you want to see it with the u.s. buyers something ok just use the information that's all put into for us and of us if i don't see it our country pool is great and you won't believe it until you see it uses satellite then. shortly after the interview ilario i'll be under a cameraman were murdered in mogadishu. a car in which they were traveling was attacked by an armed gang that immediately fled. the death of a larry i'll be sparked dozens of inquiries in italy. legal authorities sifting through all the businesses operating in somalia and in doing so

uncover the fraudulent toxic way. market. modern industry produces an increasing amount of potentially fatal waste from chemicals to heavy metals and even radioactive products the more dangerous the material the more expensive it is to destroy. as a result certain individuals all for a cheaper alternative dump the waste in the third world a solution which is completely illegal. and the italian authorities have exposed one of these networks it is not the only one of its kind out of the certainly not the most significant. for people who are involved in this toxic ring the former owner a somali consul. an expert in toxic waste wheedle got to l.a. . freights

businessmen and a key contact for the italian army in mogadishu john carlo chino. and the fourth man of the network is none other than the then president of somalia. in one thousand nine hundred five a former president appoints only honorary consul scantly only makes full use of his devil magic status to set up the toxic waste scout ignores the fact that in one thousand nine hundred three international treaty for bids the export of dangerous waste materials from europe to the third world. country only toured northern italian industrial complexes it went from door to door like a common salesman to any industry that needed to rid itself of toxic waste. its destruction

is expensive and he offered to do the job on the cheap. among the industrialists god only called on is this man a scrap metal merchant from the turin region who only agreed to be interviews on the condition of anonymity. moshe said they were looking for people who had ways to get rid of its. earlier yes to the problem was they had to look for quite a few in order to fill the ship. for. trial and i never compared one day and how many tons could be loaded on to the ship from over to her. this ship most a minute least ten thousand pounds. at one hundred dollars a ton a full load. to earn a substantial profit of one million dollars but sky clooney raise so much dust in his round subindustry that he began to draw the attention of the authorities

a judge in the northern italian town of asti led the inquiry you authorized the phone tapping over several months of suspected members of the network. rule was to collect the waste that's what he himself told the industrialists he met . he also said what he was doing was entirely legal i feel that i called however the point was that at the time somalia was a country that couldn't legally import such sort of we. never documentation he provided. these days scantily only is no longer a somali honorary consul is so she had with masonic in templar organizations and is the self-proclaimed head of the phantom state of nevada a tiny island off the coast of haiti. it effectively exists only on the internet he

agreed to be interviewed only in his capacity of the prince of. senior corps so if your country is recognized and you become head of state. then you would have diplomatic immunity. as would any head of state yes you have held a diplomatic post haven't you. but that was a long time ago you were somali honorary consul wants to see for four years yes. there are some people who believe you use this diplomatic role to bring toxic waste into somalia is that true. i have no idea what you're talking about. if you don't want to talk about it or you don't know what i'm talking about i'm sticking to what i said at the start and won't budge from that so you don't want to

talk about it. as i said i can talk to you about nova but that is all. for free for you don't want to drive up costs or to release only are present of a quarter of us in the course. the prince of nevada revealed nothing further. his business partner at the time was jim carlo much you know a shipping agent. he controlled the port in the north of mogadishu marciano had been living in somalia for more than ten years he knew the warlords was an informer for the italian army had won several construction contracts and peddled favors and influence. it was martino who provided the access to ali mahdi the somali president . he claimed to get presidential authorization to import toxic waste.

so was there a network put in place to exports toxic waste to somalia the this ship took sick oh my. good money there was no network talk yes i'll do business use in that matter a lot of that you will let me tell you it was just to make money it was a fraud why should we take the money upfront and then say sorry i couldn't do anything and he the material couldn't be shipped or some such excuse through free it's a sort of scam would be the way it works is i offer to do something for you you pay me to advance to do it but in the end it doesn't work out in the meantime i've made twenty or thirty thousand feet to fit you in. that you dish will inquiry established that then somali president ali matthew was also to receive his share from the toxic waste trade roughly thirty five percent of the profits. today ali money is no longer president believes the report nie. the cultural capital of kenya

and refuses to speak to journalists. he does however insist that the evidence implicating him is false. and yet it was official also arise ation issued from the presidential office in one thousand nine hundred six that finally permitted the import of harmful toxic waste. only was put in charge of the operation which seem to have been set in stone. going to early is an adventure a half serb half italian with an a ray of passports and identities his name appears on several documents involving the shipment of toxic waste to africa is also spent about a dozen years in prison. he was another who enjoyed the confidence of the somali president and witnessed the network's activities. go off and you

visit somalia in the mountain times did you have any dealings with the early movie . there's quite a few affair for anyway was he the one who also writes the talks of ways to be sent to somalia to shoot the secret also many. no no i don't think it was him in the authorizations were. filming. and yes in his dealings with italian businessmen only claim to have the full backing of the somali president including for radioactive waste the most dangerous of all. they go back and get. rid. of the rig. by. yeah.

there it at that. matters are. faced with the damning evidence of the recordings the honorary consul decides to spill the beans and betray his former associates marciano. he says marciano plan to hide the radioactive waste in huge container such as this one. these containers were to be buried in the jetty of a porch he was building in north mogadishu. italian authorities used amateur photos showing such metal containers being buried in the concrete as evidence. where they full of radioactive material a schedule only claims. today the port is out of bounds it is in the hands of al

qaeda islamised malicious. new images here to console lies ahead some serious problems i'm not sure maybe someone told him if you can first of this we can help you much after all the ship that arrives fully laden with waste up the coast of somalia if it wasn't going to do enter a port in offloading barrels the barrels would just be dumped at sea and that's it was the problem will show up with. on a day that the journalist ilario lp was killed with a camera man in the streets of mogadishu a white italian man was the first on the scene. he seems to know more about it than the others is none other than john carlos marciano. sad because i arrived right afterwards and there was

a lot of confusion i was upset. i thought it was a planned ambush because the car had been a machine gun and nine bullets i said to myself they should never have been in this place and then what they said and how they got to be here well my conscience is clear i mean when we're in with no go below progressivity our questions about the lp murder brought the interview to an end. boys are close enough where you're asking these questions you know no one has ever been charged with the murder of the lariat opium i have never nor for trafficking waste. you will get if you. tell him authorities did eventually find the somali citizen guilty for the killing of the journalist is always proclaimed his innocence and many believe the case is still unresolved. any evidence from the phone tapping of scared loonies network has

been thrown out as invalid. none of the three men will be troubled as italian magistrates have never sent a team to the field to check the facts. in a village not far from a live someone who has changed his mind about the toxic waste trade. someone who exposed a team that was preparing such an operation in africa. severing has since retired from all activity and lives on a street where nobody asks questions. but for many years involved dumping poison into the poorest countries. is the traffic and way spend a third from a war situation. would be very ideal e. yes it makes things easier it's a cynical thing to say but it's true. or for words.

already filled healthily. up in the world with little flags italy is full of naples is simply not going to have what's missing now for and we're about an africa laughing wherever there are serious problems or poverty so haiti in somalia places where political problems are particularly bad it's just business human life has no relevance whatsoever. one day in haiti where he had dumped some particularly dangerous waste several witnessed a scene that would change him forever. no problem is telling i was in charge of unloading the ship when i was stuck in the port and it was costing about two million lira a day a lot of money the faster i can offload the boat the better. brand hoodie i unloaded the containers usually crean got one on top of the other because i'm

throwing them out one after another they're powering up everywhere but i don't care for me to leave two weeks later i saw the results destroyed it was awful it was radioactive waste you see what. in the end severi decided to inform the powers that be what he was involved in. this would be a lot of after in the area lp was killed i decided i had to tell the authorities from one of russia's going to. separate himself with the anti mafia division in milan and allow the police to infiltrate his network. the network was connected to several celebrities of the international crime scene the police discovered the present within the organization was a certain months are al custer. months are all qatar is a flamboyant syrian who works for all sides to sold weapons to extreme right wing

left wing american groups on behalf of the americans. as armed iraq and the palestinians. according to a un security council inquiry made public in two thousand and three. has also sold weapons to the various armed militia and somalia. the weapons were shipped in boats belonging to the infamous shift go company in which allow reality had expressed such an interest just before being killed. ten years later u.n. officials confirmed the young journalist suspicions. the votes weren't just used for fishing but for arms trafficking and probably toxic waste as well. the way they paid off these militias who were very poor was to offer them weapons

in exchange for dumping the toxic waste it was a win win situation for them because they buy the young sister if you will. after three years of investigation the anti mafia division of milan decided to terminate the infiltration operation as it was considered too dangerous to proceed down south the moment though at a certain point the judicial authorities had to call in and she had to go deal is you know the dangerous nature of members of the network and we decided it was better to prioritize the safety of our men on the inside and. they got paid according to police yes oprah. in two thousand and nine the u.s. arrested arms dealer al costs are being set up and thought he was selling arms to colombian guerrillas who turned out to be federal agents and he was sentenced to thirty years in prison.

before venturing into piracy the somali gangs have proclaimed themselves the nation's coast guards. their stated aim was to protect their season shoreline from toxic waste and illegal fishing. but today they are just pirates. and you have the fisherman who live alongside them every day defend their actions they have a different notion of what represents piracy. soulful out of there anyone can understand that i think it was on my hand if we poor poison where you live and there's no government to protect you do a lot. when foreigners attack you leave even you defend yourself into all so where they. along the somali coast a fleet of western war vessels hunt down the pirates several dozen of them have

already been arrested to this day no action has been taken against any of the industries suspected of disposing talks of waste off the coast of east africa. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is and charged up and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization showing

promise discovers what makes sense arctic is so special and instructive from daily life in antarctica is the closer you live and the friends of. extradition to the bottom of the earth are to. mine russia would be soo much brighter if you knew about sun from feinstein christians. for instance on t.v. don't come.

that's.
