What happens when a country finally decides it’s tired of playing dress-up in someone else’s clothes? Burkina Faso just threw a massive wrench in the whole colonial hangover; ditching the ridiculous wigs and gowns that have been clinging to the country’s legal system like a bad fashion trend. But this isn’t about fashion, is it? No, it’s about power, pride, and throwing colonialism out the door. Imagine for a second; what if your whole legal system was dressed in the same outfits used by the people who once ruled over you?
Feels ridiculous, right? Well, that's exactly what Burkina Faso just dumped. But here’s the thing: this decision isn’t just about style. It's about Africa finally saying, “We’re done with this nonsense.” It’s a powerful rejection of the colonial mindset that’s been ingrained into the African psyche for far too long. But what does it mean?
Let’s find out.

Toxic waste 'major global threat'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/scie....nce-environment-2499


More than 200 million people around the world are at risk of exposure to toxic waste, a report has concluded.

The authors say the large number of people at risk places toxic waste in a similar league to public health threats such as malaria and tuberculosis.

The study from the Blacksmith Institute and Green Cross calls for greater efforts to be made to control the problem.

The study carried out in more than 3,000 sites in over 49 countries.

"It's a serious public health issue that hasn't really been quantified," Dr Jack Caravanos, director of research at the Blacksmith Institute and professor of public health at the City University of New York told the BBC's Tamil Service.

The study identified the Agbobloshie dumping yard in Ghana's capital Accra as the place which poses the highest toxic threat to human life.

The researchers say that the report has not been hidden from governments, and they are all aware of the issue.

Agbobloshie has become a global e-waste dumping yard, causing serious environmental and health issues Dr Caravanos explained.

The study says that "a range of recovery activities takes place in Agbobloshie, each presenting unique occupational and ecological risks".

As the second largest e-waste processing area in West Africa, Ghana annually imports around 215,000 tonnes of second hand consumer electronics from abroad, particularly from Western Europe, and generates another 129,000 tons of e-waste every year.

The study warns that that Ghana's e-waste imports will double by 2020.

At the Agbobloshie site, the study found the presence of lead in soil at very high levels, posing serious potential health and environment hazards to more than 250,000 people in the vicinity.

February 1961.

Footage of a protest in New Delhi, India against the murder of the deposed Premier of the Congo Republic, Patrice Lumumba. About 400 people gathered outside the Belgian Embassy, and troops stood by in case of trouble. They marched by carrying placards and shouted slogans. There was also an effigy of "imperialist atrocities".

Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said in the Indian Parliament Feb 15 that his country would be prepared to send combat troops to the Congo Republic in response to a United Nations request - but only when it was convinced that they would be rightly employed for the freedom of the people and not in support of the "gangster regime" now ruling there.
