Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: Sierra Leone agrees to take in Lebanon trash

 

On a different note, Ghana is planning to take in two Guantanamo inmates.

What if AQIM and probably ISIS  stage a jailbreak? Does Ghana have the

security apparatus?

Thank you so much. We can now breathe some good "air" of relief and hope that the Sierra Leone will not undertake such disastrous importation of garbage from either Lebanon or any other foreign country into its country now and at any time in the future.

Thank you. I am pleased to experience the fact that sanity does prevail sometimes.

Have a pleasant week.

Please accept this fully edited copy. The absurd gravity of the Sierra Leone government's decision was such that it left me reasonably stunned and I issued the note before completing my edit! Thank you and I wish all on this network a safe, healthy, pleasant week and 2016.

This is an absolutely reckless, uninformed and poor decision by those who have no understanding of the massive cost for proper management of urban and environmental waste. This is even more disturbing for a country that probably does not have an established national environmental regulatory body and the required number of trained personnel and waste management companies to ensure that the wastes are properly characterized and their disposal managed so as not to lead to hazardous environmental challenges for the land, water, atmosphere and the people of of Sierra Leone now and in the future.

Is Sierra Leone planning to convert the garbage to fuel efficiently? If that is not the case and the Sierra Leone government does not have the necessary garbage management companies and facilities to handle such a massive importation of garbage, the Sierra Leone government should fully reevaluate its decision to accept the dumping of imported garbage in Sierra Leone.

Has Sierra Leone become a garbage disposal dump? It's one of many questions

What says son of the soil, William Bangura?

Only asking,
