Hungry majertenia militsia have hijacked a world food program ship outside Puntland coast. Wow this is impressive must be work of New Puntland navy forces
these copycats have really embarrassed themselves this time big time. Lets hope they dont eat the poor phillipines and the captain .
Mogadishu - Pirates hijacked a United Nations-chartered freighter off the coast of north-eastern Somalia on Sunday after the ship delivered food aid to the stricken nation.
It was the first time pirates hijacked a boat near Somalia since Ethiopian troops helped government fighters oust a powerful Islamist movement from Mogadishu late last year.
The incident has stoked fears of a new surge in once-rampant piracy.
The freighter, MV Rozen, was seized after delivering 1 800 tons of food aid to the towns of Bosasso and Berbera in the Somali regions of Puntland & Somaliland, UN World Food Programme spokesperson Stephanie Savariaud told reporters. The vessel was headed to to its home port in Mombasa, Kenya.
The WFP is a part of UN syndicate UN ships dont go to Berbera because there is no registration code for the port in UN maritime laws. Somaliland imports its own food .
Most probably the ship had just carried food to Djibouti that is in a severe drought . And was heading to Bossaso that I can believe.

Or maybe its a pretext for the Americans to go to Puntland and set up a base there lol. If it is, they're moving quicker than I had anticipated.
Actually, its interesting how many shipments of food aid is being sent to Puntland......I didn't think Puntland was that in need of food aid. Just wondering were all this food aid was when people were dieing of hunger in Kenya just a few months ago.
