Somalia's waters belong to China, all MJ pirates surrender

Post by Gabre »

Cooperation between Somalia and China started before the break between Mogadishu and Moscow. It was not until 1981, however, that Beijing emerged as a major arms supplier to Siad Barre's regime. Thereafter, China supplied Somalia with an array of weaponry, including F-6 fighter-bombers in 1981, F-7 fighter- bombers in 1984, artillery, antiaircraft guns, rocket launchers, mortars, small arms, and ammunition. China also provided technical assistance to the Somali armed forces. On February 10, 1989, Somalia and China signed an agreement transferring Somalia's territorial fishing rights to China in exchange for armament credits. Beijing continued to provide military assistance to Mogadishu until the downfall of Siad Barre's regime.

So those people who allowed toxic waste to be dumped in Somali waters were actually offending Chinese territory, not Somali :lol:

Yes, the Hawiye warlord and self-styled "President" of the former Somali Democratic Republic Ali Mahdi signed deals with the Italian mafia to dump toxic nuclear waste in Chinese-owned "Somali" waters.

China is still a paper tiger on the sea, but when it starts flexing its naval muscles in a decade's time will they kick out the dozens of navies (NAVFOR, CJTF-HOA, etc) in its waters off the coast of Africa?

Chinese sovereignty must be asserted Image :up:
