Pirates who seized an Ukranian ship with military cargo allegedly meant for Kenya are negotiating ransom with vessel's owners, it emerged on Tuesday.

Whats wrong with Somalia? We know you have a sea coast just like the air space, but surely it is not right that that sea coast is patrolled by Pirates instead of Legal Government Coast Guard? When is Somalia going to get organised into a decent, legal fully functional state reputable internationally. When I see a Somalian, I feel awful. That country has huge resources but its people have chosen to be sea faring thugs, land bandits and terrorists. Now do you think Kenyans will be happy with the hold up of that shipment? That is the source of interstate trouble for sure. MESSAGE TO SOMALIANS IS; HOW LONG DO YOU WANT TO REMAIN THUGS?
Somalia is the wild west. There is no functioning government. Ethiopia needs to take it over.
What stupidity. Does anyone who reads these article possess either intelligence or education or knowledge of the world? True the west has ignored Africa other than protecting its own interest. That must stop. We need to protect all opressed? Just because they cannot make it to our shores does not mean they do not deserve to be free. Stop piracy. We should do as the mullahs did. They steal ships. We steal their life. The world needs to unite to follow this doctrine in these dire times. We cannot even deliver humanitarian aid because we allow these terrorists to live and breed in this lawless area. Stop them. Kill them. Then bring in the aid for all of those who need to feed their children and mothers and who want to live in peace and harmony with their fellow man. For to long we have allowed the muslim fundamentalists to propagate and infringe on the rights of all of the people in this area. We do not need a Christian Crusade to save this area. We need a world Crusade to help our brothers and sisters live without fear or intimidation. So sayeth the Lord our God.
It would be nice to get this resolved.
