Pirates, what pirates?

Post by Warsan_Star_Muslimah »

My Salams to you all :)

I've seen this really interesting article (old), but relevant. Since its very long I will post excerpts:

DUMPING TOXIC WASTES ON OUR COASTS


".............Mafia syndicates in the payroll of giant industries under a notorious godfather and a local warlord are making millions of dollars by dumping toxic wastes on our coastal regions and territorial waters, while United Nations officials responsible for the protection of the environment and the international law of the sea, are dragging their feet. Is this a cover up, or the proverbial three monkeys-see no evil, say no evil and hear no evil? I mean those who never open their mouth on this grave matter, never lift a finger against the Mafia syndicates and their godfathers, even after they knew their names and nationalities. Not even when they operate this apocalyptic business openly under their very nose.

Hey, what the hell is going on out there?

Toxic wastes are the most harmful form of pollution. The effect on humans from contaminated seafood includes birth defects and premature death. The result made our sea life synonymous with environmental disaster, pressing new problem in chaotic Somalia. Again it baffles me and some of my colleagues in the media why action were not taken against these thugs, even after their names were known, thanks to the local human rights organizations. It is no longer secret that some of these criminals include one of the notorious warlords who have been bankrolling at the expense of our environment during the last decade......."


ILLEGAL FISHING


"..............Going back to the toxic wastes that are being dumped on Somalia's coastal regions, it is obvious that the Mafia syndicates and their godfathers have been taking advantage of the chaotic situation in Somalia and the cash-starved warlords. As a result, the country's territorial waters, the longest in Africa, became free for all. In addition to toxic wastes, fishing trawlers from a number of countries vacuum clean the ocean floors with impunity, scot-free.

One irony is that whenever young militias try to apprehend a foreign trawler for illegally fishing within the 200-miles of Somalia's territorial waters, the foreign media cook words such as "pirates of the high seas." A recent case in point is a Korean cargo ship, registered in Panama, and was apprehended as the seamen, mostly Africans, were discharging dozens of barrels containing toxic wastes off Adale coast. This is just a tip of the iceberg from the coastal area, and there were many more during the last decade or so. It is estimated that in Puntland alone, several hundreds factory trawlers illegally fish off the ocean floors of Bossaso, Hafun, and Las Qorey as there has been steady increase in demand for the red lobsters and other seafood in affluent societies..........."

:x :x Can you believe them....the International community are hypocites.......My mum used to Swim in the Coast of Adale (AKA-Cadale), and I was hoping with peace in Somalia inshallah my kids would experience that too. :| :down:


What are everyones thoughts?

They are your average joe criminals. These guys don't represent any-one but themselves. The money they loot is not going to feed a Somali child nor provide shelter to any Somali Family. To take them as heroes is the height of stupidnimo :down:

DI.............

Do you deny the international community fishes of our territory? That they used to Dump toxic waste of Somalias coast?

Did you not hear about Somalis going on-and-on about this? I used to hear it all the time. This is because I hail from the Seas..Xamar and Cadale both have a Coast.

They might not feed anyone, but the disturption they cause to those illegal trawlers is what I approve of.

The dumping of toxic waste in Somali Waters is a serious and separate issue and is not connected to the current piracy crisis that hinders the AID ships that are meant for the suffering Somali people from getting to their targets.They need to be brought in a court of law or just send them few marine snipers and burst their head open from a clean 2 miles away :up:

Sahan :shock: Puntland...Cadale is 150 KM to Xamar (Basically its in the South)



DI
If they are also hindering Aid Ships then thats sad, but I don't believe the international community really help us Somalis, its us Somalis that help each other.

Diyeeshaha_Tolka You are Gaal-Jecel :D They say Warsangeli Abgaals mother is Gaal-Jecel. I have no idea if its true though :lol:
