That's blogspam; it's quoting reporting it claims to be from Boing Boing, but actually came from a poorly sourced editorial in the Independent from back in 2009, which in turn is just retelling the allegations from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_waste_dumping_by_the_%27...

Allegedly, back in the 80s and 90s, organised crime in Italy was involved in the improper disposal of toxic and radioactive waste. Much of it was dumped around Italy, but some was said to have been dumped in Somalian waters. Attempts to verify this have proven difficult; the main informant hasn't proven reliable, and a UN mission to Somalia in 2005 wasn't able to find anything.

Still, it does seem like some toxic waste was dumped in or around Somalia back in the 1980s or early 1990s, and that's certainly terrible.

That being said, it seems to have happened thirty years ago, and although there was concern the 2005 tsunami could have stirred it up, that doesn't seem to be happening, and there's no evidence it's causing any harm at all. (And remember, most of the waste was in the Med off the coast of Italy, where it would be much easier to detect any impact than in Somalia.)

> Any time you outsource disposal of such a dangerous substance you're pretty much guaranteeing that it'll all be dumped improperly.

That seems to be the opposite of what your link is suggesting?
