Piracy in Somalia

Piracy attacks in the Somali coastal waters of the African corner (HOA) region have increased the international maritime security change, the global economic change, and the danger of seafarers around the world. These attacks have involved several countries, including the United States, and have blocked some of the worldwide endorsed humanitarian aid shipments available to some of the world's most risky people. I explained how the piracy of Somalia occurred, had a negative impact on the world economy, whether it had caused a positive change in international maritime policy and procedures, and revealed the way of domestic conflict .

However, Somali piracy is more common. Since the International Maritime Organization (IMO) began maintaining records in 1984, there were over 440 piracy acts on the reported Somali coast. IMO Executive Director Efthimios Mitropoulos told the Security Council in November. More than 40 vessels and 600 seafarers were seized. Pirates gathered about 120 million dollars as ransom. Somali pirates are increasingly invading the Indian Ocean even at the base of Puntland in northern Somalia. Sirius, a supermarket tanker with 2 million barrels of oil, was hijacked at a distance of 450 nautical miles (833 km) south-east of Mombasa port in Kenya, and it was a far farther than previous attacks. Pottengal Mukundan, director of the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), says: "This incident is important in two respects." "First of all, this is the biggest ship hijacked."

When the world thinks about pirates, I think that the young robberies of Somalia and red-eye are staring at their Kalashnikov. It reminds me of Hollywood Film Captain Phillips in 2013 and speaks of the story of Maersk Alabama's hijacking and its captain's arrest in 2009. However, the western Indian Ocean is not the most dangerous waters in the world. It is very far. As the United Nations announced last month, the most dangerous sea is the sea of ​​Southeast Asia - and for criminals there are plenty of choices.

Somalia: South Korea is dispatching anti-piracy units to Somalia. In 2008, the EU launched an anti-piracy program "Atlanta" with many non-EU member states. Since December 2008, the ship of the participating countries is traveling around the coast of the corner of Africa. In November, the EU Executive Board extended the mandate of surgery to December 2018. Venezuela: After the protests yesterday, three people died. The opponents of this country announced plans for more street action. The EU urges the government to 'relieve' the tension, the US warns the authorities that they are responsible for criminal oppression and Colombia will condemn the militarization before the United Nations.
