Crime pays for Somalia's pirates - 9 Oct 08

[IceRice3000]

I hope they never stop, what the world especially usa and western has done to somalia is a disgrace. I support the somalis 110 %. It`s not piracy or terrorism to protect your own country and water from looters, toxic wasters, fish looters etc. They want somali to be in anarchy, just look when the islamic courts took the country and try to put some rules. They send in etiophia and war, anarchy and so called piracy was back. Fuck usa!!

[DetoxIPD]

pirates?? maybe by direct definition, but it's because companies are illegally dumping nuclear waste in them. if you take action against these people, you are furthuring the suppression and encouraging their civil war. if they are in civil war, let them take their own action and solve things the way they feel necassary

[mctommyb17]

lol somalians are fuked in there hed. We need 2 send in our forces to teach them a lesson or 2!

[wrodjr]

Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse was captured and brought to New York City for trial! LOL He will probably be killed in prison by the other inmates. Hooray!

[wrodjr]

Bomb Somalia! Shove your quran up your ass!

[DjMar0]

lol the funny thing is you wouldnt dare to say that infront of anybody outside your room wrodjr

so for that im gonna say is that your whole family is gonna be dead tomorow when they wake up

and ill say it to u in person if u like and show u how they'll die

[proudSomalisis]

I am all for Somalis defending their shores .....call it piracy or whatever you like. I wish we could capture all ships on our shores. Damn the Westerners...they want to shit on us and then kills us. Al Jazeera is also biased...they are not telling the real story behind piracy in Somalia!! Just go and google..`the real story behind piracy`....and you´ll be shocked...Somalia hanoolaato!!!

[missgarowe]

This pirates aren't in American or European waters, but they are in Somali water. Why can't the so called Western Nations let this country be?It's difficulty to imagine what is going on the Somali water for last 20 years, like illegal fishing, natural resource looting, Wastes Dumping, that the international community looking and ignoring to support Somalia to rebuild its government. Somalis will stop the pirates when they see rest of the world stop using thier acean like waste nuclear toxic.

[Reqrezentin]

Yeah but they are attacking western ships... If it was Eastern ships we would be able to continue LOL.

[missgarowe]

u thinks? You know the companies who are dumping toxic waste into the somali sea are western ships right? So shouldn,t they attack them lol?

[Reqrezentin]

We shouldn't be attacking all western ships, just French, Spanish and especially Italian.

[missgarowe]

Trust me bro they're all their French, Italia mafia, Russian, Uk, Norway and also all Assia. The somali coast free for all. So why not , our coast Guards should attack any ship in our water without Somali Permission.

[Reqrezentin]

Well atleast we are doing something now. Farole announced 2400 troops from Puntland to serve as Sea Corps and they are building 8 bases along the coast which will house 600 and will be the centres for communication, the rest will be in the middle of those bases and on sea. Also they are connecting the bases by road. Eyl is being levelled to the ground, literally.

[koolkurd82]

go pirates !!!!!!!!

[wrodjr]

The United States Navy & Marines should target every single boat in Somalia and destroy it. NO BOATS MEANS NO PIRATES TO WORRY ABOUT HE HE HE GET'IR DONE! HOO RAH!

[Reqrezentin]

That equals illegal fishing and dumping deplected uranium bombs.

[Adnoydal]

"Our latest hijackings were meant to show that no one can deter us from protecting our waters from the enemy because we believe in dying for our land," Omar Dahir Idle, a pirate based in the coastal town of Harardhere

[rodriguezdp15]

wow now navy seals will kill you skinny shits!! death to somali pirates! shipping company now hiring armed contractors to protect the ships bound to somalia!!

[theblackandwhitenews]

Click my user name for an awesome and HILARIOUS take on the Somali Pirate situation...

Go pirates!!!

[FireitupBedford]

Crime pay? Are you for real? You had to know that someone would step up and put an end to this shit which they are starting to do right now. Somemore were caught just yesterday. The wannabe gangsters better find a new way to make a living because the world isn't going to put up with this BS anymore...

[missgarowe]

somali pirates 4 life. Those white ugly monkeys have to lieve our water alone. They have no right to go to somali water.

[PuntlandGurl4Ever]

missgarowe ur totalt right

this white ple used stole our fishes and called us pirates

[missgarowe]

Thank you sis. I definitely agree with you.

European and Asian companies are dumping toxic waste, including nuclear waste in somali sea. If they really want to deal with piracy, they need to stop its root cause first.

[soerules]

fuck you missgarowe.. you are typical cunt who deserves a bullet in your head

fucking somalis got what they deserve.next time they will get bomb by US airforce somalis are the real ..fucking monkeys .they are the ones who act like animals..why cant they live like a civilzed people..trust me no one wants to be near your filthy waters..the ships are there to help poor countries ..you fucking dumb bitch.

[alvindalvin]

Man your one of those short sited people who live in a media bubble. You probably never heard of this until the latest story of the amrican ship and captain taking hostage. What do you know about civilized. Let your country not have law and order for 10 years and see what happens. Actually if you live in a western Nation it will never happen. They will have martial Law on us so fast, you couldn't take a piss without a rubber stamp on your butt. Sheep. They r poor, where's their help?

[soerules]

alvin the idiot..

I have heard of the pirates cos i was there you fucking shit head..I used to work on a chemical liner.

whose false is that fucking somalians govt is fucked up not the west obviously...so why are you defending them?? somalia is not the only country in the world that is facing poverty. come on wake up .there are many countries out there all over but they dont go out and hijack ships fuck the excuse about protecting their waters.thats a total B.S They should get blasted by bombs

[alvindalvin]

You may have been there, but where you there when America was trying to exploit Somalia for it's oil resources, which may have led the the Somalia civil war that cause the governmental vacuum their in now? And we all know that alot of these African countries do not prosper from the resources that they supply to other countries.

[missgarowe]

So many lies and propaganda. The truth will hit your stupid country soon. Somalia don,t need your symphathy or help so get out of my territory. By the way occasionally swearing too much might be a sign of a medical problem.. Clearly, You're retarded. Get your self an Identety and a new life you pathetic son of a whore.

[SomaliDuriyaad]

WAHWAHAWAH

[thienmodel]

well put up a machine gun  blow them boat off when they attend in ten feet, kil them kill them all just like king in singapore he hung you if you selling drug in singapore , no court day shit, the only way shoot them pirate and hung them out the sea, the only way

[habarjeclo1]

America needs to wake up &realize the true consequences of there involvement in somali polotics. How can they expect to fund Ethopian soldiers/government &local failed war-lord by the name Abdilaahi Yusuf &still hope for the best outcome. This American double standard policy is the root of all problems &EVIL.The only thing America understands is "how to give with one hand-and then take it back with the other"! There is an old saying "those who dont appreciate today-will never appreciate tomorow"

[bastardjapan]

the genral adde muse is right.don't pay ransom,

[tomma2259]

fuckin ugly skinny black cunts hey

[theredeagle84]

This has brought some issues 2 the world: Somalia is a shit infested nest. They need help. Countries dump crap in their waters & the infrastructure is a MESS!

2 solutions:

A) "Big bang" Blow it up and start again

B) Adress the problems

[eskikasar]

Looks like it's state-supported, or at least something the state has no interest in dealing with.

I say light the whole place up. None of that half-measure trash the US did before, I mean hit the entire country at once so combined they can't come up with materials for a boat to use for piracy.

Really, Ukraine should treat it as an act of war, and it's allies should respond in kind.

[rickyross1878]

You dumb East Timor worry about your dumb ass killing eachother country. And secondly Last time i remember when America when in their they ran soooo fast that they forgot some of thier so called soldiers and if i quote they called said " The most dangerous place on Earth" So you sit behind your little computer and keep your dumb comments to yourself, Lmao

P.S What the fuck can Ukraine do? LMFAO

[manwithnobeard]

Why don't we kill ALL somalis responsible for piracy and totally destroy there homes and businesses and imprison all those that have benefitted from the pirates including there families?

[rickyross1878]

Lol dumb Mother fucker. Am in England why don't you start with me and kill me Send me a message with where you wanna meet. LMAO i will call you a man if you reply with a meeting place.

[scallen2112]

Fuck 'em - nuke their asses and get it over with. Then move in and take their oil and anything else we can find worth over a $1 (which wont be much).

[gure0021]

Fuck you coward...nuke ur ass there is nothing you could do to Somalia...simply you fucking low-self steem indivual..fuck..

[scallen2112]

Fine. Don't nuke their asses. Just wait for the stupid fucks to either kill each other off, starve, or all die of aids. Either way they'll gone and the world will be a better place. And, no, fuck YOU gure0021, you cum-guzzling, terrorist-loving fuck-slut.

[rickyross1878]

And you OLd sad mother fucker. Why don't you think they can't come into somalia cause the WHOLE POPULATION are fighters. Sad Fuck you stay behind your computer.

[memo8774]

Good G-d you people suck. Keep on appealing to your imaginary god and justifying your criminal behavior. I fully support your incarceration, Osman.

[emadkay1]

I fully support you brother Osman. You have right to fish and protect our sea. My God help you and you other collegues, forget about this media biased, calling somalis pirates, and the rest of the thieves and criminals legal traders. what a bluff.

[eskikasar]

No country has territorial water claims 300 miles off their coast. Try again.

Call it what you like, it's piracy and needs to be treated the same as it has been for centuries, not just quietly accepted.

[sugarpuddin88]

How can they be pirates?!

They had to take out loans from Central Banks for money that was used to build oil wells to rape them of natural resources!

They have been paying to be raped!

[sugarpuddin88]

Those little boats?!

[RUlegaleagle]

Pirates need weapons. Weapons cost money. Money for those whose sell weapons to pirates. Everybody wins.

[Joe40oz]

Yo ho ho and and bottle of rum!

[conduit99]

This is a Situation where Men are breaking the law (albeit self serving western law) in order to uphold Justice.

[jakob0815]

arrrrr!^^

[conduit99]

(cont) Moreover, the Somali Islamic Courts Union (ICU) actually took control of the seas when they were in power (mid to late 2006) where Somalia saw it's first peace in 15 years at the time. Then the U.S. via the CIA (check the NYtimes) tried to topple them via proxy warlords killing hundreds of innocents. When that failed they funded, armed and physically helped the Ethiopian Gov't to invade Somalia causing untold thousands & the most death & displacement ever.

[grit123]

Interesting. Thanks, I hadn't even heard this side of it.

[conduit99]

No problem man, but it's not surprising that you havent heard of it since the Western Global Media has not only been ignoring the truth about what has happened in Somalia since 2006, but purposefully omits important facts (aka The Truth).

[ikran2007]

the so called inter communtiy need stop fishing illegal in somali water then u won't see pirates but no these countrys us,eu,yemen and kenya won't because their own company are the one who are fishing illegal in somalim water then they go un to ask if they can go kill somalis young mans so they save the inter shipes that is pass in somali water but they won't do that but stare fishing illagel on somali water

[conduit99]

And now the UN has done something quite unusual and unprecedented by passing a resolution making -illegal crossing into Somali Territorial Waters and it's ECC (200 Nautical Miles) lawful. Most likely under pressure from Illegal fishing company lobby groups of many countries.

But I tell my Brothers to press on, and get what you are owed which in reality is a pittance ($300 Million is lost every year in Somalia due 2 illegal fishing, and the Somali "coast guards" get only about 30 Mil a year.

[conduit99]

Come on Al-Jazeera, u shouldnt jump on the Western-Global Media Bandwagon & label Somalis protecting their National Waters as "Pirates". You guys should spend more covering the Foreign Toxic Waste dumping & foreign illegal fishing which has been going on since '93 to present (check factiva). Moreover, i read an article (imagine what isnt reported) re a situation where local Somali National fishermen were sprayed w hot water hoses when they tried to stop an act of illegal fishing.

[TaskiyahEmaani]

akhi no one will care wether or not a thousand somali men where sprayed with boiling hot water, its we who must care and look out for each other and stand united. there is no aligence with arabia or the rest of the world. our only hope is in God and the unity of our tribes.

and God willing when these barberic and inhuman ethiopians leave our lands we may begin to see a real prospect of peace.

[conduit99]

Trust me I know. That's why I support the Somali Coast Guard (dubbed as "pirates" by the Media trying to criminalize them). I take Political science as a major in University & these guys are a defacto deterrent to the REAL foreign criminals who steal our maritime resources & dump toxic waste in our waters. The Realism theory of international polysci states as much. I know that we must unite under Somali Nationalism & Islam as our fuel---we cannot unite under anything besides these 2 precepts.

[TaskiyahEmaani]

its a shame that people dont even know whats going on there while they dump thier toxins right on our doorsteps. but then again we can only blame our selves for fighting eachother instead of uniting.

democracy is a failure and it can NEVER bring any good to either somalia or the rest of the world. its about time that sinks into all of us.

[manwithnobeard]

You support the "pirates" and sympathize with them? your an idiot, your political science major is a joke if that's what your being taught!

I support all those that dump there toxic waste in somali waters, with a bit of luck it will kill help kill those muslim terrorist Somali tossers!

When we capture the pirates i want to see them walk the plank into shark infested waters, i would pay to see such a spectacle.
