Obtained office, albeit with extremely low badget with her cameraman Miran Hrovatin arrive in Africa. Quickly they reconstruct the facts: on those ships are toxic and radioactive waste disposal, a traffic that is intertwined with weapons sold by the West to the Somalis for their war. The story starts from the interview to an Italian diplomat, then moving to Bosaso: it is therefore the time to tell the names of who is involved in these "operations". To achieve their scoop Ilaria and Miran return to Mogadishu, but at their arrival they find a a commando ready to eliminate them.
