a good man i wana say these pirates will be children compare to who will replace them as real defenders as the survival of somalis is facing from the sea is not only geting greedy and stealing of the fishes but enject poison to people i mean dumping all sorts of hazards, chemicals all sorts of wastes. somalis know stealing is not new thing from the west in to africa as a whole, but to kill you they never back of there is somali saying which says a man chooses hell rather than humilated which make them going to there seas as theives or what ever one may call them but will be standing up for them selfes somali can adopt especially theses kind of problems.

Very well written article, and for your informaton, the name Somalian is inaccurate. A person hailing from Somalia is called a Somali. It’s similar to Saudi or Iraqi, you dont say “Saudian” or “Iraqian”.

I am grateful for the exposure of the going-ons at sea because it is an area I know little or nothing about except for the dumping catastropy, and even to that I am a novice. There is not a lot I can comment on relating to the matter but you, the pirates, Oprah, go green, etc., have stirred my curiosity. I know one thing for sure: If America’s old governance, old white men, haters, and the miseducated are lamenting about the capture and killings of these young black men in their waters, then I need to learn and know more. Thanks for your contribution. Keep writing.

Suffice to say the international Community UN has failed the Somali people, come to Kenya and see how the pirates money is hurting the real estate industry you can compete with some Somali businessmen in Kenya who will offer double the market value of a house of commercial building or plot. where does this money originates,
the fishermen who ponce o ships are only agent of the big fish in Somalia Kenya US and Canada where the money eventually gets to.
IT IS A SHAME TO THE WORLD FOR OVER TWO DECADES THEY HAVE ABANDONED, RAPED, AND LOVED SOMALIA IN EARNEST
