Piracy ransoms funding Somalia insurgency

[American-Suufi]

"The entire Somali coastline is now under control of the Islamists," Andrew Mwangura, head of the East African Seafarers' Assistance Programme, told Reuters in an interview.

"According to our information, the money they make from piracy and ransoms goes to support al-Shabaab activities onshore."

Don't blame me, I'm the news reporter filling in for Danyeer who got married to a female danyeer and they went on a honeymoon to Congo. Buddy something fishy is happening? Why are so many ships hijacked lately? My uncle just told me warplanes planes are flying all over Somalia for the last 4 days.

"It's crazy. We have never seen anything like it in our years of tracking them," Mwangura said. "They've broken all records for piracy in this region and indeed the whole world."

this is wild imagination, UIC have nothing to do with piracy
infuct they fought with the pirates when they were
controling much of somalia.

Everything that ever goes wrong in Somalia is blamed on the Islamists in the west. It's kind of pathetic.

Just like the Talibans. When they were in opposition they funded their insurgency through Opuim, when they came power they strictly banned it. Back to insurgency they started the opuim business again to fund their insurgency. Given Indhocadde's background it is possible.

It is well known that Muslims and/or Islamists were great sea merchants.


In fact, between Dhuhr and Asr there is a great set of courses at the masjids :

Mondays: Upgrading and Repairing speedboat gunships
Tuesdays: Ransom Negotiation: Getting the most 'buck' for your 'bang'
Wednesdays: Get the Green not Gangrene: CPR, medical aid, and hygiene on the high seas.
Thursdays: Sea Slick: Avoiding the world's navies.


On Friday evenings, there is currently a case study being taught by one of the survivors of the French Commando Raid: 'New Developments in GPS and digital surveillance.

Islamists have no place in Somaliland or puntland. the islamists best strategy would be to stick to the south and south cental parts of somalia while negotiating with their neighbors. islamists will never control anything beyond the south.

"The entire Somali coastline is now under control of the Islamists," Andrew Mwangura, head of the East African Seafarers' Assistance Programme, told Reuters in an interview.

Andrew Mwangura is a kenyan christian and will blame anything on the islamists. its another way of getting funds for the so called "East African Seafarers". these guys are only deperate for american dollars and cheap publicity.

Islamists will take over all somalia ,, insha-allah.

[dawwa9]

9 out of 10 Somali pirates are hungry Ciise Maxamuud's from Eyl, and when these fckers recieve money they built ridiculous buildings and hotels in Bosaso and Garowe not in warfare

Nothing to do with Islamic courts...

Islamists will take over all somalia ,, insha-allah.

that cannot happen they are too indisciplined and dont have any experience in running a country plus they have made too many enemies. US and Ethiopian planes will bomb them back to the stone age era.
