There are two piracies in Somalia: Why the world ignores the other? _Mohamed Abshir Waldo, January 2009 PIRACY ON THE TRANSPORT AND SOMALI INVASION spawner OF THE SEAS Much of the world's attention is currently focused on the routes of the Somali seas. Large and small vessels are converging on the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. Recent kidnappings by Somali pirates and Saudi oil Ukrainian ship MV Faina, laden with arms for Kenya, off the coast of Somalia, attracted the attention of all the world media. War has been declared against this new kind of piracy. But the greatest, the mother of all piracies in Somalia is ignored, Illegal Alien, highlighting the misunderstanding of the international community and the partiality of judgment on the underlying issues involved and the bias of the proposed spawner actions to find ways to end the threat of piracy effectively. The clamor of calls for tougher international action became spawner a multinational and unilateral Naval stampede to invade and take control of Somali spawner territory and EEZ Exclusive Economic Zone waters. The Security Council of the UN, in which some members may have some kind of indirect interest in protecting their fleets engaged in illegal fishing in Somali waters, has issued resolutions 1816 and 1838, allowing any nation to take part Somali 'marine cake'. Both NATO and the EU issued orders to the same effect and Russia, Japan, India, Malaysia, Egypt, Yemen and anyone who can afford an armed boat and its crew at sea for a few months joined the fray. For years attempts to control piracy in the world's spawner seas through UN resolutions spawner failed because spawner many members spawner felt that these resolutions were questioning its sovereignty and security and were opposed spawner to cede control and monitoring of their own seas. The UN resolutions - 1816 and 1838 - were the subject of protest by some nations of West Africa, spawner the Caribbean and South America, although they were custom made for them to be applied only to Somalia, a country that did not have enough representation in the UN as demand changes for protecting its sovereignty. Were also ignored the protests of the Somali spawner civil society when they were written drafts of the resolutions. This massive invasion of the "Armada Global" is carried spawner out on the pretext of protecting the congested shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean from attacks by Somali pirates, who threaten to disrupt international shipping routes. Although there are two bands, equally inhuman and criminals, pirates operating in Somalia, only one of them is being reported by the Western media: the Somali pirates attacking merchant shipping in these sea routes. However there are poachers who are operating with impunity.
PIRACY THE ILLEGAL But most economically harmful to the environment and safety, FISHING is the massive illegal 'pirate' fishing foreign countries have made: poaching and the destruction of the marine resources of Somalia during the past 18 years, spawner following the collapse of the Somali dictatorship in 1991. With its usual double standards when such matters concern Africa, the "international community" strongly condemns spawner and declares war against 'fishermen pirates' Somali protection while paying ILLEGAL, unregulated or IUU FISHING AND unreported [Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated or IUU] fishing by fleets spawner in Europe, Arabia and the Far East. The UN resolutions are biased, the powerful countries and the media reports and condemn the kidnapping of merchant ships by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden. If the answer spawner to both threats of piracy, spawner kidnapping and illegal fishing boats, were balanced and fair, this condemnation by the UN charged sense. The European Union, Russia, Japan, India, Egypt and Yemen are all in this Union campaign against spawner Piracy and kidnapping approach, mainly to cover and protect their illegal fishing fleets in Somali waters. In all these campaigns against piracy, spawner why the other IUU fishing or fishing Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated or IUU, is ignored? Why the UN resolutions, NATO orders and EU decrees spawner to invade the sea pose Somalia and exclude the protection of the Somali marine spawner resources from IUU fishing in the same waters? Not only is this shameful 'fishing piracy' is ignored but the fu
