I am Somali so where do you get the best information from Somalia other than an Somali you tell me ? Do you know whats the situation in Somalia other than the monthly or once a year CNN broadcast about Somalia? Do you get confronted with daily problems of Somali citizens you dont right ?
How do you know what you think you know about Somalia that you could build up an discussion. Youre not equal partner to discuss with i think.
Go and build up some knowledge i dont mean some CNN or any other Media outlet articles but reliable truthful information.
Do you live in Somalia right now?
Otherwise I have more current knowledge about what is going on in the Gulf of Aden then you do.
Do not speak of reliable truthful information and then link to Al Hadjizeera.
The international Navies has come out in force to condemn and declare war on the Somali fishermen a.k.a Pirates while discreetly protecting the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fleets from around the world that have been poaching and dumping toxic waste in Somali waters since the fall of the Somali government eighteen years ago.
Fishermen do NOT need to carry guns OR RPG,s.
If they do they are pirates and they are boarded and arrested.
If they will not comply with inspection OR open fire at a ship they are engaged.
That´s the current ROE in the Gulf.
Your talk about dumping waste is bollocks.
I do not deny the photo you posted, but what is to say the container is not from a vessel attacked by pirates?
Nifty piece of propaganda that..A container or another that says "made in the real world"
I ain´t buying it.
You ask me why Somalia needs all this modern equipment to challenge the countries in our waters and guide them back to their country:visor:. The odd thing is that most of these countries were pirates themselves in 17/18th Century.

So you DO need the kit to support the illeagal pirating of your coast and to make the job harder for the navies off your shore?
That is exactly the reason you shouldn´t get them.
You said that there was no waste
How did you come to this conclusion i have found million articles i could seriously challenge this read below next time think twice before answering or even challenging anything thank you very much !:-|
I challenge your opinions since you are pro piracy.

Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN envoy for Somalia confirmed to Al Jazeera the world body has "reliable information" that European and Asian companies are dumping toxic waste, including nuclear waste, off the Somali coastline.
"I must stress however, that no government has endorsed this act, and that private companies and individuals acting alone are responsible," he said
Allegations of the dumping of toxic waste, as well as illegal fishing, have circulated since the early 1990s.
But evidence of such practices literally appeared on the beaches of northern Somalia when the tsunami of 2004 hit the country.

However, the team was able to establish that Somalia's coastline "has been used as a dumping ground for other countries' nuclear and hazardous wastes for many years." Those dumping the waste have capitalised on the long civil war in Somalia, which has had no central government since the 1991 ouster of the late dictator Mohammed Siad Barre, and "the consequent inability of the authorities to police shipments or handle the wastes," says the report.URL=http://img408.imageshack.us/i/somaliacoastwastedumpin.jpg/]

Besides the waste, Somalia's coast has also been receiving shiploads of industrial, hospital, chemical, leather treatment and other toxic waste. "Most of the waste was simply dumped on the beaches in containers and disposable leaking barrels without regard to the health of the local population and any environmentally devastating impacts," the report says.
Soo are you reliable do i have to believe what you say ?
Bla bla bla bla bla..
BTW we are too far from the originel subject which was those photos.
You opened it up with your list of kit we should at all costs prevent from reaching Somalia.

Guys you have to understand that i mean not now that any of these countries could either help us or deliver anything until the situation on the ground is dramatically improved. How could you deliver anything while the goverment is not even in controls a single street in the whole country ?
