The world has been raising profound questions about the security off the coast of Somalia but they have been ignoring the core of the problem which is the political and the military situation in Somlia and they foolishly seem to be oblivious about the plight of the Somali people who are dying in thousands by either gun shots or by starvation. But of course they are quick to react to the safety of some crew and and a deadly cargo of 33 T- 72 tanks, rocket launchers and other heavy weapon .As for the TFG , it has neither the man power nor the political will to suggest any vaiable plan to sort out piracy around and off the coast of Somalia.
