Dutch Ship Dumps Toxic Waste Off West Africa, Says Govt

Cameroon's environment minister on Wednesday accused a Dutch ship of dumping toxic waste off the Cameroonian coast. Environmentalists say western firms treat Africa as a "dustbin" for their dangerous waste.

A statement by Environment Minister Pierre Hélé said the government had information that a ship called the NV Nashville was dumping waste off the coast of west Africa, but provided no details of its location or movement.

The minister called on his counterparts in neighbouring countries to be on the lookout for any suspicious vessels.

"Our friends in the west are very dangerous people," ministry official Benoît Bitjocka told AFP news agency.

"They treat Africa like a dustbin."

This is not the first time European ships have dumped waste of the coast of west Africa.
