“The Somali pirates have spent the € 2.7 million they got for the liberation of the Alakrana trawler from the Spanish government on weddings and orgies” Now, I wondered if the media-including RT- ever bothered to know what was this fishing trawler doing in Somali waters , or perhaps they wish to investigate how many millions of tones of highly quality tuna that Spain steals from Indian Ocean waters of Horn of Africa every year? The lawless and unprotected waters of Somalia have now come prey to most ruthless and evil ecological war crime. Why is the media not bothered to investigate this? When the world media wake up to the coming ecological destruction of marine life and ecology of the Horn of Africa?

It is reported in this site that Russia will resume its anti-piracy duties in the Horn of Africa. Now, what is mandate of Russia’s anti-piracy duty? Does this include protecting the defenseless people of Somalia from illegal fishing trawlers and cargo ships carrying nuclear and other banned chemicals? Until the illegal fishing and illegal dumping of nuclear materials in Somali waters end and the world community supports stabilization of Somalia rather than the current U/S/EU lead militarization program-which is in fact designed to escalate the crisis in the Horn of Africa- piracy will be with us. In reality, the very militarization program currently underway in Somali waters of the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea has geopolitical objectives of dominating Somalia. as a result, militarization of Horn of Africa needs to the continuation of sea piracy!

Sarah, Before you put pen to paper, you might want to gather some facts. First: The trawler was not in Somali waters; It was fishing over 300 miles from Somalia Second: How is fishing in international waters stealing? You may not like it, but it is not illegal Third: Fishing is not a ruthless and evil ecological war crime - you have the nutty environmental nut jub lingo down though If you are so offended about tuna fishing, do not eat tuna. Leaves more for those in this world who enjoy tuna and who do not view staying alive as evil. Certainily the products that result from fishing are beneficial to mankind. You have been brainwashed. You are a faithful disciple of Al Gore - another nut job. > Now, I wondered if the media-including RT- ever bothered to know what was this fishing trawler doing in Somali waters , or perhaps they wish to investigate how many millions of tones of highly quality tuna that Spain steals from Indian Ocean waters of Horn of Africa every year?

Mike, In fact I have lot of facts in my disposal, Spain and France, Thailand, China, and others are in the Horn of Africa to commit ecological genocide against naturer and the people of area. Spain, France and other EU nations, both Spain and France in particular, have been conducting massive illegal fishing in the Horn of Africa since the 1991 collapse of the Barre regime. This is a fact. Spain, France often use flags of convenient to disguise their illegal fishing practices in the Horn of Africa. Spain and France are not only nations who are committing ecological war crimes against Somalia. However, if the world stays silent of Spain, France and other nations current massive fishing practices in the Horn of Africa, the fish stocks in the Indian, the fish stock in these waters will be destroy in the same as the Atlantic Fishery. Media overplay of piracy is designed to cover and mask the lucrative and highly destructive 6B fishing industry driven by Europe’s insatiable appetite for high quality tuna. Somalis are black Africans and weak. It is much easier for Europe to speak hungry and starving Somalis than the fact Europe is stealing the nations most valuable natural resource. Despite being confronted with hard facts on how Spanish fishing trawlers are wrecking havoc in Somali waters, Spain and France have manage to keep the need to fight against illegal fishing a separate and as a non issue from the urgent need to fight against sea piracy! I wonder why?
