80 years later, they are killing and polluting
In Normandy, there are at least 60 expressions for different shades of rain. Since D-Day, there has been a 61st one: “bomb rain”. Robin des Bois’ 9th inventory of the discoveries of bombs and other munitions in France and Germany is dedicated to Normandy, a considerable task and a mission that will last several centuries and will surely never end. On 6 June 2024, all heads of State should formally declare war on all bombing.
Shell abuse
On the 80th commemoration of the Normandy landings, Robin des Bois publishes its 9th inventory of discoveries and blasting of unexploded ordnance after the wars.
Sea Uprisings
The Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans are severely mutilated by war. At their bottoms lie thousands of unexploded weapons dropped during the last two world wars, or deliberately dumped afterwards. In the past and present, belligerent countries have devoted derisory and intermittent resources to getting rid of the submerged munitions.
The Cursed Dnieper
The earliest terrorist act with the intention to flood a city goes back to the Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan. In 1209, in order to put a quicker end to the siege on Yinchuan, the capital of the Western Xia dynasty (now in north-west China), Genghis Khan set out with his troops to divert a branch of the Huang He, the Yellow River. The makeshift dam broke and the ploy backfired. It was Genghis Khan’s camp that was flooded.
Gas and Gas / Nord Stream and old chemical munitions
Did the explosions followed by gas leaks on 26 September 2022 on the pipelines of the international consortium Nord Stream linking Russia and Germany awake, displace or dislocate chemical munitions dumped near or nearby them?
