Une tonne de déchets toxiques déversée le long des côtes somaliennes ne coûte que 2,50 $. C'est la décharge la moins chère du monde avec des bénéfices confortables pour les occidentaux. Des centaines de Somaliens tombent malades. Qui déverse ces déchets? Qui en tire profit? Deux journalistes italiens sont morts pour avoir posé ces questions. Enquête sur les réseaux où collaborent hommes d'affaires et criminels, les pirates somaliens et les trafics entourant la gestion des déchets nucléaires.
Located approximately 25 km off the coast of Balochistan province, Astola is Pakistan's largest offshore island. Also known as "Jezira Haft Talar" (Island of the Seven Hills) due to the small, rocky mountains that span the 6.7 km2 island, this scenic spot has all the hallmarks of a tourist getaway - sandy beaches, clear waters, and the sort of variety of marine life often found tucked away in remote and pristine corners of the world.
On a remote tropical island in the Indian Ocean lies a geologic enigma. Some 4 million years ago, volcanic eruptions on the seabed piled lava upward almost two miles, until it broke above the waves. Then it kept piling up, to form what is now the craggy, densely vegetated island of Anjouan. Like all islands formed this way (think Hawaii) Anjouan is 100 percent dark volcanic basalt. Except for the part that is not. That part-a mass of pure white quartzite, apparent remains of a river or beach deposit formed on some faraway, long-ago continent-is not supposed to be there.
