Hello. My name is Joey. I live in the United States and am a college student that is studying Somalia, and it is our duty to try to recommend some way to help your country. If you would like to correspond I would very much enjoy hearing from you. I could see how your fishermen are being taken advantage of. I was very interested in your statement that the Samalian sea is the most stratigic sea of the world. One idea I have had to help your country would be to create railroads to transport the fish you catch. I was wondering what your opinion of this would be.
Joey

But the pirates do one good thing ofr all Somalis, they protect our seas from overfishing, Japanese and Koreas ramages our seas taking the smallest fish that was supposed to get time to breed and survive. on the other hand we came to know diring the time that Piracy began that the Most stratigic sea of the world is that of Somalia ( our country). the maritime law that says that every country have the right of 12 miles of sea water is unjust ans unacceptable.
that law gives the opportunity of sea overfishires like the Japanese and Koreans the right to come to Somali water and take all the fish. so we can really say what kind of job that pirates are doing for the people of somali. and if somaliland is not recongnized the country will turn in to choas , and a piracy will start on the red sea in an imaginable scale.
