Firestone in Liberia podcast - Fahamu

by Pambazuka News

Ezekiel Pajibo and Kofi Woods speak to Robtel Pailey from Pambazuka News about the role of Firestone tyre company in Liberia. Firestone has operated in Liberia since the 1920s and been accused of using forced labour, polluting water sources and tax evasion by activists. The new administration in Liberia is currently embroiled in a difficult process of renegotiating the contract with Firestone.

In this podcast, Liberian Minister of Labour Kofi Woods and activist Ezekiel Pajibo explore the role of Firestone in Liberia and what is being done to redress the asymmetrical relationship between the company and the people of Liberia.
