As the eyes of the global community turn to historical places of the Somali coast that were unduly and undeservedly forgotten by the prefabricated Western mass media, the phenomenon of piracy – which is at the basis of the fresh Western interest – tends to expand to the northern confines of Somalia that constitute the Horn of Africa's most chaotic realm.
The reason is simple; where despair invades the hearts and desolation prevails in the minds of undeservedly deprived people, piracy becomes an attractive alternative for anyone who would thus highlight his existence to the eyes of a heartless and insensitive world community that permitted themselves to spend 17 years without a proper concern for the injustices caused to Somalia. The effort can in addition bring some money to the performers, and this is definitely good.
Why not?
The disreputable trash of appointed and unrepresentative Somali prime minister Nur Adde, who turned over to the Abyssinian evil gangster and pseudo-general Gabre money entrusted to the 'government' of Somalia in form of aid and assistance, dared sell his own country in this most disreputable way. Only he will make money then?
Americans and Europeans failed to understand thus far that the deeds of the trashy pseudo-Somali prime minister are equivalent to De Gaulle turning American funds to German generals stationing in WW II occupied France.
The hope exists that through many similar acts and greatly unpleasant surprises for the Western countries, a solution of the problems of Somalia will be imposed, involving the
the withdrawal of the Abyssinian death squads and criminals who impersonate a pseudo-national army,
the elimination of the unrepresentative TFG regime,
the collapse and dissolution of the separatist puppet regimes of Garowe and Hargeysa (Puntland and Somaliland),
the imposition of an Islamic Republic of Somalia where many parties will shape a new national administration,
the complete punishment of all warlords,
the liberation of Ogaden,
the secession of the Somali province of Kenya, and
the dissolution of Djibouti with the merge of part of its territory (inhabited by Issas) with Somalia.
So, one must expect the generalization of the phenomenon because the reasons that triggered it are present; until Jendayi Frazer is removed from her position and impeached for tolerating a genocide in Ogaden, all the Somalis of the coast will find it great to become pirates.
If in the process they are killed, they will be as great heroes as the European anti-Nazi WW II fighters and partisans.
The diffusion of the passion for piracy as last tool for fair treatment for Somalia and for replacement of the monstrous authorities of the fake state of Somaliland with UN peace keeping soldiers is attested in the recent news from the breakaway lawless pseudo-state.
Northern Somalis, who passionately want to turn 'president' Riyale's tyranny to mere ashes and are determined to eliminate the presence of Amhara and Tigray Abyssinian devils from the northern parts of Somalia, have been arrested for plotting pirate attacks.
You arrest these guys, but the others will be successful; and the world community will understand that Riyale's thugs have to be guillotined if order and justice, rule and humanitarian concern are to prevail in Northern Somalia.
The event shows how deeply hated the illegal regime of Somaliland is, and to what extent the paranoid policies of Jendayi Frazer damaged the US interests in the Horn of Africa region.
I republish an insightful that sheds lights on the event, and at the same time, sounds like the funerals of the illegal pseudo-state of Riyale.
I then add an informative feature about the Harardhere case of piracy of an Ukrainian ship which seems to be the most impressive endeavour of the Somali pirates – thus far!
What comes next will certainly be even more astounding, and even more detrimental for the interests of all those who remained indifferent to the Drama of Somalia or – even worse – contributed to its materialization.
Berbera Court Sentences 5 Men to 15 years for Plotting Pirate Attacks
http://www.waaheen.com/index.php?action=view&id=1029&module=newsmodule&src=%40random48953494e4350Berbera (Observer) - On 9 September, the Berbera regional court sentenced 5 men 15 years of imprisonment each for plotting sea piracy attacks. The Presiding Judge, Osman Dahir said that the me were caught red handed and that the prosecutors produced clear evidence that these 5 men and two others who were also sentenced in absentia were plotting attacks on ships in the Gulf of Aden.
Somaliland police arrested the men in Berbera. Police sources told Waaheen media that the men were hatching their scheme to launch pirate attacks using a small fishing boat. They also said that they confiscated weapons and other paraphernalia at the House a house were the arrests took place.
Sea piracy is becoming common place in the Gulf of Aden, but Somaliland ports have been fully free from piracy. No attacks are known to have been launched from Somaliland territory. Almost all the piracy that has taken near Somaliland / Somalia waters occur in nearby Puntland, which has no become notorious for pirate attacks. More than 11 ships are now held in Puntland.
Reports indicate that the men in Berbera, apparently all fishermen, were lured by reports of lucrative ransom gains in Puntland, where sea pirates are said to earn more than $30,000 a year.
Somalia:We Will Sink the Ukrainian Ship if Anyone Dares to Rescue, Says Pirate.
http://www.mareeg.com/fidsan.php?sid=8062&tirsan=3&PHPSESSID=6c991bc4d4c8e4e2d07b972709dfb8d2Mareeg (MM) One of the pirates whose name Sugule Ali said that if the warships encircled them attempt to rescue the ship that they would drop the ship underwater. The pirates holding the Ukrainian ship carrying military hardware off Somali coast.
"We are armed and they are as well so if they try to force us we will force the ship to go under the water" Ali said in a telephone interview while he was on the Ukrainian ship.
He added that US has made contact with them and informed to them that they were going to prevent the weapons to drop off from the ship but don´t want to rescue the ship.
He added that they were unafraid on any attack from the Russian and US ship stay around the ship they hold.
Somali pirates who seized a Ukrainian freighter carrying arms were on Sunday surrounded by several foreign warships off Harardhere, in central Somalia, a ranking Somali official and witnesses said."We are getting information that three warships are tracking the pirates and two of them are very close to the hijacked ship," the adviser to the presidency of the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, Bile Mohamoud Qabowsade, said in Mogadishu by telephone."One of these ships is from the United States and the other two are from the European Union countries," he added.
The MV Faina was seized on Thursday with a crew of 21 as it neared the Kenyan port of Mombasa with a cargo of tanks, grenade launchers and ammunition for the Kenyan army. A tribal chief and local fishermen in Harardhere, around 410 kilometers (250 miles) north of Mogadishu, confirmed to Shabelle that they had seen the Ukrainian ship surrounded by at least two ships but were unable to say what nationality.
"The pirates are now surrounded near the village of Hinbarwaqo (between Harardhere and the port of Hobyo area) by western ships. They asked individuals in charge of the hijacking of the Ukranian ship to come aboard the navy ship for talks," the local clan elder, who asked not to be named, told Somali radio He said the navy ships were using loud speakers warning the pirates not to make any attempt to unload any of the cargo on board the ship. So far they had not responded to the invitation for talks.
A fisherman in Harardhere, Abdinasir Ahmed, told Shabelle he had seen two big ships in the vicinity of the hijacked ship, but had been unable to get any closer. Another elder, Ali Harun, said: "The pirates made contacts with friends on the ground and they are saying that at least two warships came close to them, I believe they have no chances of escaping with the shipment".
According to the Ukrainian defense ministry, the Faina is carrying 33 Soviet-type T-72 tanks as well as armaments being delivered by Kiev as part of an arms deal with Kenya. Seventeen Ukrainians are among the ship's 21-strong crew, which also includes three Russians and one Latvian.
The coastal waters off Somalia, which has not had an effective central government for more than 17 years and is plagued by insecurity, are considered to be among the most dangerous waterways for shipping in the world. Numerous UN-backed bids to restore stability in the nation of up to 10 million have failed.
Last year more than 25 ships were seized by pirates in Somali coastal waters despite US navy patrols, according to the International Maritime Bureau.
