lol anyone who has actually done their research knows that the majority of the so called "pirates" are actually just defending their coast from the EU boats dropping off nuclear waste.

SOMALI POWER!!!

2nd point, Somali local administration along with somali and international security agencies lobied telling to these Anti piracy coalition forces that at least part of these acts should be funded in training and building of somali army and police capable to reintegrate or fight against boys in piracy, but these coalition is not listening, so i'm telling them please listen to that in order to avoid afghanistan and Iraq coalition problems and specially on now somalia has good central government.

well , talking about islam in here is not relevant in this video since both Mombasa and Mogadishu are Islamic african ports, right?

Due to it's location, Mogadishu had a bigger port and was more commercial before '90 which is the year a civil war started.

After that, political fighting in somalia was oiled by kenya, ethiopia, arab and western countries in order to have a government loyal to their policy,

Soon, Mogadishu port gonna grew and is happy with grew of her sister port Mombasa.

there aren't any known cases of piracy is kenya so why is that stupid journalist going there?

that's how you know this shit is fucked up.

I would have taken c-span a bit more serious if they actually went to somalia and saw everything with their own eyes and told it rather than going next door neighbour and getting people there to talk about it.

thats not fucking journalism. thats bullshitism.

you bunch of cock sucking liars.

[ahassan5]

how does a man in kenya know whats happening in some remote area in somalia? he says he 'thinks'

fuck off with your bullshit. matter of fact, im planning to go somalia and become a pirate - terrorise you and make you pay up if you dare come to our seas.

you fucking white liars!

[shortloinsirloin]

you dishonor most generous Allah when you do not capitalize or add a beatific to His most beneficent name.

What is clear is that I do understand the principals and tenents/pillars of Islam as well as have studied the history of Islam.

What is clear is that you claim to be a terrorist who supports Al Qaeda (you admitted as such)

What is clear is you are an uneducated thug with an ill sence of justice, who has only violence and pain in his heart.

[StraightouttaSomalia]

first of all if i write it as allah or Allah..they are not two different names..they are the same and that does not show that you know more bout islam..islam is not based on how well you can write english letters but how well you understand principles of islam and the history which you dont. and muslim language is arabic and since youtube was created by christians it doesnt have arabic letters if it did then i wouldnt worry bout capital letters and all that bullshit...english aint my language.
