A ship loaded with volatile cargo approaches the port off the coast of Abidjan, Ivory Coast
A ship loaded with 20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate – the same chemical that devastated large parts of Beirut in an explosion in 2020 – approaches the port of Abidjan. Campaigners have expressed concern about allowing the ship to unload its damaged cargo, but authorities say they are taking measures to keep the public safe.
