Youre never a theif in your house youre never a pirate in your sea

[@frankjames7272]

you are funny!

[@frankjames7272]

most of the pirate operations are done outside of Somalia's territorial waters.And the EEZ are navigable waters that means anyone can navigate there although you are not allowed to extract resources.

[@frankjames7272]

And somalia has a government that considers the pirates activity illegal. next time educate yourself.

[@frankjames7272]

And if you have a government that considers piracy as legal, like the barbary pirate states, that just makes you a country of crooks and thieves.

[@SAOW_777]

Imagine, a foreigner comes to your garden, steals your elementary sustenance - thereafter, accuse you for trespassing. And you can do nothing & the authorities are bought to look the other way - what would you do?? Most of those locals are patriots & honourable individuals who fight against illegal fishing from China, Italy, India, Iran, etc - protecting the sea, doing corrupt government's duty.

Lets talking about illegal Chinesse fishing trawlers. There aren't pirates in Puntland or anywhere in Somali. All the ships recently captured were all foreign illegal fishing trawlers with connection to corrupt somali leaders who gave them fictitious permits.

[@zainzoala1083]

😂😂😂 But the leaders in Puntland aren’t even making these claims and are part of those fighting against their own people pirates admitted they have piracy problem. So why blame others and even other countries. Lastly, you are making claims without any evidence

[@mohamedabdinur75]

Criminal trade? Benale ben badan ayatahy yet you are a Somali and you are not acknowledging the problems Somalia is facing which are fishing trawlers, where do they come from? They come from as far as East Asia just to fish offshore of Somali's coast. Not only Asians but Europe's fishermen come to fish there? Why is it happening at the Gulf of Guinea that stretches over 6,000km of coastline? It is caused by both illegal, unreported and unregulated Fishing(IUU) and their oil being stolen. How about you tell the truth to the world rather than branding people as 'pirates' yet you come far from Europe and Asia to do illegal fishing? Benale qaain aya tahy Somalima kugumajirto Wariye.

Most of the money from this piracy is channeling into Kenya. Eastleigh is their major money laundering zone, that's why they selling stuff cheaper than the average trader in Nairobi. Ask yourself why most traders in Eastleigh don't accept Mpesa as a mode of payment, its to keep the authorities off from knowing their actual revenue thus easing laundering.
