Drugs, hormones and excrement: the polluting pig mega-farms supplying pork to the world
Mon 25 Nov 2024 11.00 GMT
Mexico is a leading international pork producer, but Yucatán residents say the waste oozing from hundreds of enormous hog farms is destroying the environment
The stink of excrement was the first thing the residents of Sitilpech noticed when the farm opened in 2017. It hung over the colourful one-storey homes and kitchen gardens in the Maya town in Yucatán, and has never left. Next, the trees stopped bearing fruit, their leaves instead covered with black spots. Then, the water from the vast, porous aquifer emerged from the well with a horrible, overwhelming stench.
“Before, we used that water for everything: for cooking, for drinking, for bathing. Now we can’t even give it to animals. Today, we have to give the chickens purified water because otherwise they get diarrhoea,” says one resident. “The radishes grow thin and the coriander often turns yellow. This has always been a quiet town, where life was very good until that farm started,” they say.
India: Mosque survey dispute erupts into deadly clashes
Hundreds of Muslims gathered to protest a survey over whether a mosque was built over a Hindu temple. Authorities banned gatherings in a bid to curb the unrest.
Four people were killed in clashes sparked by an official survey probing whether a 16th-century mosque was built on the site of a Hindu temple in northern India, officials said on Monday.
As a result, authorities closed schools and suspended internet services in a northern Indian city.
What happened at the Shahi Jama Masjid?
Nearly 1,000 Muslim protesters gathered outside the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, to prevent a team from conducting a court-ordered survey after a petition from a Hindu lawyer that claimed the mosque was built on the site of a Hindu temple, officials said.
UAE arrests three Uzbek nationals as remains of murdered rabbi repatriated to Israel
United Arab Emirates authorities revealed on Monday the identities of the three suspects arrested for the murder of UAE-based Israeli-Moldovan rabbi Tzvi Kogan. All three suspects "are Uzbek nationals”, the interior ministry said. A plane carrying Kogan's body landed at Ben Gurion airport Monday, a spokeswoman for Israel's airport authority said.
Emirati authorities said Monday three suspects from Uzbekistan were in custody over the murder of a rabbi, a rare violent incident involving an Israeli citizen in the UAE, which signed a peace agreement with Israel in 2020.
Tzvi Kogan's death came as a blow to the tiny Jewish and Israeli communities in the Muslim-majority UAE, which have kept a lower profile since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza in October 2023.
The 28-year-old UAE-based rabbi was found dead by security services last week, following what Israeli officials and an ultra-Orthodox Jewish group he was affiliated with called an anti-Semitic attack.

With nowhere else to go, Sudanese refugees in Lebanon plead for evacuation
What options are left for the refugees increasingly terrified of Israel’s war on Lebanon?
On November 10, Sudanese asylum seekers gathered to listen to Abdel Baqi Othman in a cafe in Lebanon’s capital Beirut.
The well-respected Sudanese activist spoke passionately about how Sudanese asylum seekers were trapped between the civil war in their homeland and Israel’s invasion of Lebanon.
He implored the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) to relocate registered Sudanese asylum seekers and refugees to Italy, Turkey or Cyprus until their asylum applications could be processed, or until they could be permanently resettled elsewhere.
