Wake up people! Do you really think this is about Piracy!? This is like WMD of Iraq. A Stargate or wormhole is opening in the gulf of Aden. This is why they all international military are all there.

Is this segment intended to suggest an Islamist government in Somalia is a good remedy for piracy in the Indian Ocean? I'm thinking the cure would be worse than the disease. I'd prefer pirates in the gulf of Aden to Al Qaeda training camps in mainland Somalia.

[ineedachris]

Why doesn't any country invade Somalia? That would help!!!

[Popajaja]

Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN envoy for Somalia confirmed to Al Jazeera the world body has "reliable information" that European and Asian companies are dumping toxic waste, including nuclear waste, off the Somali coastline.

sad but true

Biggest group of idiots posting on here I have ever seen. Yes, they are heroes there. They are bringing in millions-they are heroes like sports stars. They are about to get heavily attacked. When they are not negotiated with, don't get money, and are shot on sight--they will try to grow food-what an incredible idea!

[mephil8800]

none of the cunts over there work to make a living, thats why.

It´s obvious that some countrys are makin profits on somalias anarchy. The us and ethiopians wants to get rid of anyone takin power in the country, yet they dont wanna help their own puppet government enought to seiz and gain control over bigger parts of the land. And the so called pirates should keep doin what they do, cause your not a thief when you steal back your own belongings

[dukedope09]

somalis areee africans u fuckinnn idiottttttttt generalwow it is amazing how dumb you are we are cushetic blacks from africa not from mars you idiot go read about you people you lost son a of a dog

[skyerunner]

This is a fascinating issue that I would like to hear more about. The media focuses on the big hijackings and blames it on "instability". But, is it true that foreign nations are illegally fishing Somali waters and dumping toxic wastes because there is no one to stop them? It seems like piracy is a pretty good way to draw attention to the situation if such abuses of Somali sovereignty are happening.

[generalwow]

somalis are neither africans nor arabs, somalis are somalis

italians, british, and other europeans have dumped nuclear waste in somalia's offshore coast, and now they complain about the taxations imposed upon them for illegally fishing in somalia's waters???????????

[roserover]

I heard a Somalian on the radio say that if you are not a pirate, the girls ignore you; if you ask a little boy what he wants to be when he grows up he says - you guessed it - a pirate. How tragic for the long-suffering people of Somalia.

[checkthebrakes]

I know how to stop the hijackings. Put remotely controlled decoy ships and boats out. When hijackers board an unmanned ship they will be greeted by video cameras, remote audio commanding them to surrender, traps and remote controlled guns or tranquilizers. After this happens a few times they will thank twice. These decoys can be made to look and act like the real thing. Manned vessels must also take on a look of decoys.

[roserover]

Neat idea!

Traitors are in PUBLIC OFFICE and SERVICES. Get rid of THOSE TRAITORS and "Piracy" will end.
