  • wot about a commercial ship with full of army ?? lol

  • England is america lil whore.

  • I think it's wrong that other countries with fake permits steal fish off the coast of Somalia while tankers rinse their holding tanks polluting their waters. It's also wrong to hijacks ships and demand ransom, the situation needs political intervention.

  • Why can't those experts see that $100 million ransom per year is not a bad GDP at all, especially for a small third-world country like Somali. That's what keeps this enterprise going on!

  • stupid Americans causing global warming and adding to world problems

  • kill the dirty bastards

  • @mrssweetpotatohead why dont you kill yourself. you depressed dumb greyback. slaaaaaaag

  • HERE WE GO AGAIN. Piracy thrives, the US Doesnt do much so its automatically their fault, then when they conduct military ops, everyone thinks theyre out there for fucking oil or killing muslims... fuckers piss me off.

  • @Ctasker5

    Now you know how we Brits felt like during the days of the British Empire. Haha your turn now

  • @nickhodgesuk

    bahahah damn it ... hopefully we come out okay like you brits ;D

  • @Ctasker5 Fuck america, america is a fallen power its just a matter of time, american soldiers are cowards they like to bomb from a far and half the time they either kill their allies or themselves by accident they are soo dumb. come moghdishu city and face us hawiye one more time if you got the nutsacks. you saw what happened last time your. the bodies of your dead coward soldier been draged through the city.

  • @Ctasker5 and now the coward america is innitiating peace talks with the taliban because they are getting their backside spanked in afghanistan and they gona loose there and iraq too just like they did in vietnam and korea infact i dont think america has ever won a war. thats why they are war-hungry so they can put their 1st point on the board. evil cowards

  • @doomsdaystrugler

    You are Somalian? Muslim to Muslim, let us not instigate a hateful argument.

    Anyway I suggest you do some serious research. The problem is I think if I try to tell you the truth you won't believe it and think it is some propaganda that I am being fed inside this country.

    The way we look at it is that war is changing by age. Now the US is not engaging a nation like our military is designed for, but rather a violent organization. This forces us to change our view of "victory"

  • @doomsdaystrugler

    Victory for the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan is more for stability and safety rather than a tactical achievement or territorial or resource gain. This is what is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan where NATO is securing the area, then handing over authority. Coming from the region in Asia where terrorism thrives, I can assure you terrorism does exist. We did lose in Vietnam. The Korean War never actually ended. They signed a ceasefire that still is active today.

  • @doomsdaystrugler

    US has engaged in many conflicts and has succeeded in most of them. Winning a war is how we became a nation that's how many nations exist today. If we never won a conflict out of the many we have gotten into, the US would not exist. Friendly fire exists in all wars it is not a matter of intelligence but rather accidents. I don't know where you hear all these false accounts. Our soldiers just do as they are commanded your argument is with the politicians of America who are dumb

  • terrorism in the sea same as on land

  • typical niggers

  • if somalia has oil... it has aleady been invaded by the superpower.. like iraq... afghanistan is a target practice for the super power to test new weapon... GOD will punished the super power.

  • get ur fucking ass out of our water that is the only solution you mother fuckers.

  • onlocash. a shipment of rice and beans or any other food can kill hundreds of people. if the food was going to a country ravaged by famine and was delayed they it could very much so kill hundreds of people. indirectly yes but people can still die from this.

  • don't be so ignorant, everyone knows that the us among others have been dumping their toxic waste for years in Somalian waters so no wonder they are kidnapping Americans

  • sterilize the bastards

  • this is the problem with these people,,, they blamed the US for everything.

  • The Western Powers are protecting their own interests, and they're strong enough to just come in with force to protect their commercial ships. I don't think the Western Governments really care about Somalia, (the people of these western countries do however). I'm from the US, but I don't ignore facts in front of me when analyzing these events.

  • Don't you love it when they say the US "allowed" this to happen for so long...

    Yes it falls on the US shoulders once again just like everyone expects....and of course other responsible countries but the blame always the blame US number 1

    And to say that this brought attention because of military weapons, no shit !

    Can a shipment of rice and beans kill hundreds of people?

  • It is very simple, put all ships into convois, protected by warships. But this is still to expensive for owners and goverments.

  • no - the asnwer is dont rup them, all their fish and country is destory because of rich countrys. and left them hungery

  • the tankers need to have heavily armed personell onboard..

  • There is NO way to  solve this problem without INTERPOL and then military action. Anyone can see there is a MAFIA behind this. Otherwise, these illiterate poor men would be asking for a bag of rice as ransom !! two bags max. :-)

    SInce they are asking for millions in ransom, It is more than obvious that there an element of MAFIA operating here. INTERPOL needs to act before the mafia component grows and spreads to other countires.

  • wow, you should use that thesis for your phd in retardness

  • pontedupre 0009::: INTERPOL

    Is a criminal databases that some 130 some nations use to help locate wanted criminals in those nations. They do not have agent like 0007 running around. They may connect you to a local cop if you need some one on the ground to check some thing out,

  • These pirates are a result of US trying to enforce its policies to sabotage global peace, attacking countries like Somalia & confiscating their needs of life & the right to live a peaceful life. Confiscating the needs of a man unjustly means compelling him to repel. Recently they had partially withdrawn from sea piracy due to a sea storm season. But as soon as the sea is peaceful again the sea piracy starts. But we must see whats the bigger crime. Sea piracy or compelling one to it.

  • you are nuts.... attacking Somalia??? they don;t even have a govt. It's about money and the poor people who have no other income

  • yahoovisitor, you need to keep your dumbass comments to yourself. Poverty is the catalyst not the United States, you socialist pig. Why do the united states need to be the global police? If they act on these issues then you will complain about the pirates human rights, you obviously have no substance. It was Russias problem noone elses.

  • america is realy take oil in irak and just they want to take all fish in somalia

  • how about send some bait ships for the pirates to try taking, wait for the pirates to get along side, then whip out the flame throwers and 50cal cannons. maybe have some attack helicopters just destroy every last pirate boat. repeat the proccess as needed. just keep sending bait ships with attack helicopters just out of sight.. when they get attacked, helicopters get there in 5mins and destroy every one of them. now THATS justice!

  • @lejink

    LOL-I think that costs more than the few million dollars they're paid :D

  • @lejink If merchant ships were armed and able to use there weapons when taken by force that should solve the issue on the sea, As for the ground... well there in a mess as many other arts of the world

  • @lejink

    Piracy is an act of armed robbery on resource boats...

    You're suggesting the use of capital punishment to be used against armed robbers, not to mention without a trial.

    I've been robbed at gunpoint before and while justice should be served, it's certainly not a crime worthy of having a person killed.

    There's something seriously wrong with you if you call that justice.

  • the europeans should stop dumping their waster off the coast of somalia and their tawlers should stop steal their fish stocks.

  • Shame Inatabco. you just validate what has become clear about Islam and the people who follow it. Justify terror, killing, piracy and a host of other disgusting anti social sub-human behaviours

  • How can u call another countries coastl guards "pirates"!!!!. what is the world going tooo shame..and media.. its damn foolishnesss. Long live somalis coastal guards the reall heroes

  • Inatabco, what are you chewing?

    Coast Guard 300 miles fom the coast, atacking humanitarian ships?

    You know, what, muslim? I guess your mom was a bitch who shit a dog (you) out of her smelly pussy.

    And forget about the virgins waiting for you, the ones they left are complaining that the virgins are not there, but there are goats. I guess Allah run out of virgins with so many of you blowing yourself to pieces to fuck some goats.

    You Dog!

  • coast guards? they arent attacking ships doing anything wrong they are boarding ships there legally.. holding them hostage for money. this is about money not some noble cause, r u really that naive? they are broke people.. they do everything for profit.

  • The local needs are not elevated enough by our media. It sounds strange some youths making living in hijacking and are supported by their ordinary village people, isn't it. Nothing much about their industry is reported. High level investigation pushes some solutions from multi-national militarism yet benefit merely trading partners, not local people of that sea. Bypass povity can make few ppl richer. More ppl get richer then you must involve local ppl when you use their route. UN should listen.

  • Get a cargo ship, fill with US marines or Blackwater contractors, hoist a foreign flag, then sail off to Somalia. The pirates will do the rest and when they try to hijack that cargo ship....Go French and say "Au Revoir Dickheads...eat lead!" Reload, refuel, and repeat procedure. Allied nations have been doing this to rid themselves of the U-Boat menace during WWII. How easily we forget our history lessons.

  • Alajazeera is a joke,

    fuck all these arab supporting media

  • Yeah, the other 96% of World media that supports the Jews is much better.. Get real sonny - its important to have all sides of a story; not just zionist hogwash 24/7.

  • Why the fuck are the West still sending in weapons to this region. We talk about failed states and dictatorship in many countries in African. Yet we are still sending in weapons. Shame!

  • Who the fuck put that dude on the air he cant talk for shit.

  • I Agree with PIECARTHBOX, " Nobody cares about africa, and nobody will until YOU grow up and everyone ought to step up help africa" YES, the problem is not only the piracy it is unstable nation called Somalia.

  • Is anyone posting here from Somalia?

  • "Reqrezdentin" IT'S JUST YOU BRO.

    Let me explain in a launguage you most probably understand. The so called "somali government" are hated by many people. They are the product of "USA" policy which only servs the west ideology. Ethopia are not wellcome in Somalia,yet they are funded by America to carry out so called peace mission. This only increases the hatred towards the "puppet government" of somalia &American involvement,with in somali internall policies. This is the root of piracy today.

  • I think the question at hand is the problem that have existed before all this publicity. People are fishing where they shouldn't and polluting their water, how do they solve that? I'm not sure how, and I see it as them protecting what resourses they have. Everyone has rules and no one else is following, so why are they the only ones to blame? There is a lot that should be done and will only be fixed when you get to the root of the problem.( Much more going on, that we know nothing about)

  • 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"

  • Is it just me or are you narrow-minded?

    How the fuck do you link the President of Somalia, Ethiopian soldiers and Pirates together?

    Answer Propably because I don't need "Somaliland/Isaaq" propaganda...

  • People from the west ignore this shit, we laugh at it when it does cross our minds.

    If you have humanitarian problems in somalia were willing to be convinced that our aid is needed, but supporting piracy will only bring pain to average people in somalia.

    No one cares about africa, and no one will until you grow up.. Same goes for my beloved USA!!  Everyone needs a step up in maturity..

  • What can be done?

    Just use every boat launched from Somalia as target practice for the militaries of the civilized world.

    Sometimes the right thing to do can be distasteful. But it still needs to be done.

    Eradicate these neanderthals.

  • They shouldn't be in somali waters in the first place. We know other countries illegally fish and dump waste in somali waters.!!!!

    THERE NOT PIRATES THERE COASTGUARDS

  • Somalia does not have a coast guard, and if it were a government sponsored program to hijack ships guess what would happen, a one sided war where retards with small arms would face tanks and helicopter gunships.

  • go somalia!

  • shut up somalia you hurt us alot the pirates are bad guys now they are get worse

  • USA knows how to handle Somalia. Do to Somalia what the USA did to Cuba and Nicaragua. A blockade of Somalia, nothing goes in, nothing goes out. Make that an Naval blockade of Somalia ports, nothing goes in, nothing goes out. Hit anything that floats out of Somalia, regardless of what it is. Anybody need Somalia for anything?
  • ... Its not the Somalia goverment that is doing piracy.

    To punish the entire country for what some criminals/terrorists are doing isent a good response.

    Also, the pirats are stealing from Somalian fishermens to. Dont support terrorism. Only a fool supports violence.

  • If there were American Pirates openly,

    working from USA coast & bringing the proceeds from their crimes onto USA shores, the USA government would intervene quickly.

    If foreign ships were being held in USA

    waters, the USA goverment would be a stop

    to this.

    Somalia isn't doing what it has to do.

  • And if they dont have the resources to do anything? If I remember correctly they have been asking for help.

  • Well in that case, another country,

    or a group of countries, must take over.

    Deal with this problem, swiftly, deftly,

    put it an end to it.

    By whatever means necessary.

  • and who will be dealing with our problem you idiot. aaahh yes ver certainly very precisely must act at once take over the country. fag bitch we are not even being able to handle our own economy right now. haven't you learned your lesson from iraq you fag.

  • if there were american pirates and brought money to US economy, the US gvot. will definitely make legal to get some tax money.

  • Us govt cant do that without casting off all allies..

  • SOMALIS ARE SMART, GOOD-LOOKING, INTELLIGENT... AND THEY'RE DEFENDING THEIR SOVEREIGNITY, (indian ocean, red sea) FROM ILLEGAL ACTIVITY!

  • goodlooking? goodlooking? my god don't insult the worlds goodlooking

  • i am supporting the piracy although am yemeni so other countries can bring wepons to yemen so it can petrol the gulf of aden.

    lol

  • illegal fishing of somalian fish force many somalian fishermen to bankruptcy and now it is payback

  • While piracy is abhorrent, as long as people are disfranchised in their own homeland, their families & livelihood destroyed, deprived of life & liberty, made to be expendable for foreign policy of foreign powers, obviously, the masses would rise up just like the French, American & Russian revolutions, refusing to succumb to "laws" that does not represent their interest & well being. It's incomprehensible, the victims are always, innocent people who have nothing to do with the chaos & conflict.

  • Bravo to Pirates..they're as good as dead anyways so why should they be scared of dying..what would you do..never mind you have to be there n experience it to understand it. this is what happens when you are faced with dying of starvation or taking millions of dollars just passing through your back yard..its that much easier with all the Guns that was handed to warlords..come on...any one would have done that...do ur research before you point fingers...God ignorance makes me sick...aaarrghhhh

  • This is gettin silly. Action is needed!!

    I recommend higher on board security.

    Using satellite imagery to blow the silly runts up.

    I recomend force to fight force!!!!

  • I agree that commando boats should be used to shock the pirates into thinking twice about doing this. I don't know what else would work. They aren't going to just stop are they?!?!

  • I support the pirates. Ppl stealing their fish and dumping in their waters get whats coming to them

  • Easy problem to solve, but nobody has the stomach. Hire ex-commandos and retrofit the ships with about a half dozen .50 cal pods. Let the pirate ship get close and then cut the niggers to ribbons. Board the pirate ship, take a carcass off, carve it up into pieces and mail it back to the pirate's family. Do this for about six months. I guarantee piracy will go WAY down. All but gone in one year. At a fraction of the cost of paying the ransom.

  • Send the SEALs!!!

  • i ask myself would I do the same thing if my country was under social and political strife, my wife and kids were hungry, my neighbors can't help me, the police are corrupt....yes I would probably do the same thing man. Those somali brothers are trying to survive like everyone else. instead of condemning these "pirates" as you say, why don't you go and condemn the porn industry for creating moral decadence in our society.

  • I agree with everything you said until you mentioned condemming porn. I mean come on! (:

  • i wish they could but i dont think its that easy and what if they dont wanna wire it

  • why not just give them the ransom for the hostages and cargo, track where the money is wired, track where the pirates go and...

    kill them all.

  • easier said then done

  • some of these so called pirates are not pirates, they are just receiving goods, the shipper can then claim they stole the shipment and didn't sell them to the so called pirates because of international and legal restriction. it is just a way around the restrictions and laws which want to supress these people from receiving any feed or other goods

  • Somali Pirates have expossed those behind Sudan's missery. Keep Pirating there are alot of big fishies to fry.

  • listen people we (Somali people) have the right to defend our sea from strangers who are fishing our beloved ocean without permission. and also have the right to catch those ships passing without paying a tax!

  • yeah fuck you too. i kill americans for breakfast.

  • africans are poor and desperate no matter what religion you imbecile.

    islam has nothing to do with this.

    1400 years after the death of christ, you europeans were raping and murdering each other, africans, native americans and asians by the millions so please SHUT THE FUCK UP.

    now all of a sudden because of 50-60 years of relative peace you assholes are the beacons of peace and humanity? please asshole.

    no muslim race has killed jews by the millions btw.

    it was the spanish and germans.

  • I don't say Fuck whatever religion you are simply because you are an idiot saying Fuck Muslim... I tell you something "you may attacked" by Muslim person and make sure your look around when you try to walking alone!

  • I suggest a torpedo. then see how well the swim.

  • Who cares, I wonder if their hiring... where do you drop off a resume to become a pirate? I want a hat and a parrot at the very least. "Yaaaarrrr avast" and such. Maybe its just the word pirate that makes me unable to take this too seriously?

  • those somalis were afraid of the malaysian army.

  • not really, malayneum. they're not afraid of anyone (inc the U.S., Russia etc). So what makes you think they'd be afraid of a bunch of malays?

  • because they know malaysian army are muslims. they know if they crossed the line we will tax their ass.

  • Sorry buddy, when you're in SOMALI National Waters for ILLEGAL fishing, dumping of TOXIC WASTE, or for whatever reason (200 Nautical Miles) then it's YOUR, and any other perpetrator's "ass" that'll get "taxed".

  • Bwahaha! FISHING? DUMPING OF TOXIC WASTE? What bullshit are you on?

  • Check out Factiva or even search google. There has indeed been illegal fishing since 1993 in Somali National Waters (200 NM) as well as Toxic Waste dumping. This has had a DIRECT effect on the people living there as well as a blatant violation of a country's Sovereignty. Don't believe me? Search it yourself retard. They even mention it in this video (pt.1 and pt.2).

  • I support good Muslims.

  • Conduit99 talks about laws while Somalia is in chaos. There's no law there except that the strongest survive. Somalia needs a functioning government that can jail in the warlords and provide for its people. The US tried to restore order there with no success.

  • U.S. did not restore order it made things worse. The U.S. gave money and weapons to the warlords in Somalia. If they had sent that to the central government that is backed by the U.N. there might have been some stability. Thanks to you Yankees. Those warlords not only used the weapons to fight the Islamic Courts Union and Al-Qaeda but they raped and murdered the civilian population.

  • a enemt of my enime is my friend.

  • That may be true. But look at what is happening in Afghanistan. The CIA funneled money and weapons through Pakistan intelligence agency (ISI)to help form the Taliban and other Mujahideen to fight the Soviet Union. Now NATO is there to clean up the United States mess. Many of those who fought the Soviet Union are also leaders and or sub-commanders of Al-Qaeda.

  • Nato is doing jack shit, the usaa is still doing most of the fighting.

  • I recommend that people watch this, because it is VERY interesting and is yet another example of Rank Hypocisy from the West. Another interesting thing is that these Tanks and Arms were headed to the Christian Dinka Rebels in Southern Sudan via Kenya, even though The West put an arms embargo on Sudan. They did the same to Somalia but allowed the Tyrannical & War Crime laden Christian Gov't of Ethiopia to invade Somalia in 2006 with Western financed Heavy Weapons.

  • Thats a blatant lie. Kenya ordered these weapons 6 years ago.

  • lol "blatant lie" huh? Tell that to the U.S. army who admitted it loool. Argue with Reuters, AP, and a bunch of other Mainstream media outlets.

  • you must not be able to read.

  • You said this yourself: "The West put an arms embargo on Sudan"

    The West does not including Ukraine or Russia. The West (UK, Germany, France etc) does not export weapons to Sudan. Get it?

  • The Romans once ruled the sea by destroying pirates regardless of flag. The English made terrible spectales of any captured pirates. It's time for civilized nations to crack down on barbarians.

  • Ur an idiot. Do you know that so called "civilized nations" such as yours & others have been illegally fishing in Somali Waters since '93 as well as illegally dumping TOXIC WASTE in said waters causing deaths & health ailments. All this was done without a word or any action from the UN or IMB. Don't talk about stuff when you dont know the history. Or maybe you know but ur just an immoral White racist who believes in one set of laws for Judeo-Christian/Athiest Whites and different sets 4 others.
