Kenya: Dandora Dumpsite
Feb 13, 2013 - Dandora dumpsite, Nairobi, Kenya - Men play pool during breaks between work at the Dandora dumpsite, one of the largest and most toxic in Africa. Located near slums in the east of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, the open dump site was created in 1975 and covers 30 acres. The site receives 2,000 tonnes of unfiltered garbage daily, including hazardous chemical and hospital wastes. It is a source of survival for many people living in the surrounding slums, however it also harms children and adults' health in the area and pollutes the Kenyan capital.

UGANDA : NEWSPAPER BLAMES TERRORIST ATTACKS ON GAYS
27 november 2010 - Kampala, Uganda - Rolling Stone is a Ugandan newspaper which first attracted international attention in early october 2010, when its published a list of the Country's 100 Top Homosexuals, "100 Pictures of Uganda's Top Homos leak" with the front-page headline "Hang Them" "National scandal". The inside pages of that edition featured the names, adresses and pictures of several alleged homosexuals, some of whom, according to gay rights activists, were reportedly attacked after their involuntary outing and many have gone into hiding in fear of their lives. Although Uganda's media council ordered the paper to cease publication, the paper flouted this command, coming out with it's next edition on 1 November 2010, with the front page screaming: "More Homos Faces Exposed" "Man of shame part II". Escalating their anti-homosexuality campaign, in his 15-22 november 2010 issue, the paper blames, without any evidence, the July attacks in Kampala were plotted by "deadly homosexuals living abroad". The tale gets taller when the paper claims that homosexuals from the Middle East paid Somali terror group Al-Shabaab to bomb Kampala due to?outrage over the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Finally, gays are blamed for funding the Lord's Resistance Army who have committed atrocities in the North. Gay activists filed a petition in court to restrain the tabloid from further publication of pictures and anti-gay stories, and sought damages and costs incurred following the publication of the article. These articles were published near the one-year anniversary of the proposal of the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

Ethiopian Tribe Recycles Modern Worldís Discards Into Fashion Accessories
The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.
The Daasanach spend months collecting bottle caps and scratching around for cash to pay for broken watches, which the women makes into jewelry and wigs. These are worn by both men and women, young and old.
Younger girls and children get the most basic version of the wig, while the oldest women are treated to the heaviest numbers with the most embellishment.
Men are only allowed to wear the bottle top wigs until they marry - after that, they create small clay headpieces decorated with a colourful harlequin pattern and enlivened with a feather, although the latter is only allowed after a hunt or a successful clash with an enemy.
The young men love to wear necklaces and earrings while the girls have bigger muscles because they do the most difficult work like carrying water, To prevent their headgears from getting spoiled while they sleep (apparently, they never take them off).

‘Means of survival': Tanzania's booming charcoal trade drives unchecked deforestation
Cleared forest on the edge of Ruhoi reserve in eastern Tanzania. Illegal loggers depend on the trade to live, hampering conservation efforts.
As rising gas prices drive demand for the polluting fuel, illegal loggers depend on the trade to live - even as the forest disappears around them.
arge swathes of Ruhoi forest reserve in eastern Tanzania now lay bare, the ground in some sections dry and scorched, covered with stumps and brittle and fallen trees. The forest is being cut down at an alarming rate to meet the growing demand for charcoal in the nearby city of Dar es Salaam.
As a result of high gas prices, about 90% of Tanzanian households now use charcoal or firewood to cook, which is fuelling rapid deforestation across the country.
Between 2015 and 2020, the country lost almost 470,000 hectares (1.16m acres) of forest a year, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. The situation mirrors what is happening across much of Africa, where wood collection and charcoal production account for nearly half of the continent's forest degradation.

‘Means of survival': Tanzania's booming charcoal trade drives unchecked deforestation
Cleared forest on the edge of Ruhoi reserve in eastern Tanzania. Illegal loggers depend on the trade to live, hampering conservation efforts.
As rising gas prices drive demand for the polluting fuel, illegal loggers depend on the trade to live - even as the forest disappears around them.
arge swathes of Ruhoi forest reserve in eastern Tanzania now lay bare, the ground in some sections dry and scorched, covered with stumps and brittle and fallen trees. The forest is being cut down at an alarming rate to meet the growing demand for charcoal in the nearby city of Dar es Salaam.
As a result of high gas prices, about 90% of Tanzanian households now use charcoal or firewood to cook, which is fuelling rapid deforestation across the country.
Between 2015 and 2020, the country lost almost 470,000 hectares (1.16m acres) of forest a year, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. The situation mirrors what is happening across much of Africa, where wood collection and charcoal production account for nearly half of the continent's forest degradation.
