And with Farole's latest press release:

"The Puntland Government wishes to underscore that the international community's response to the piracy problem by spending massive resources and deploying warships off the Somali coast has not stopped pirate attacks.

Puntland constitutes a geopolitically strategic territory for regional and international trade and security, being located at the very tip of the Horn of Africa region. Therefore, the Government of Puntland State of Somalia appeals for mutual cooperation between the international community and the local government because this is an alternative and more effective option to fight this problem."

The Government of Puntland State of Somalia wishes to express its deep regret with regard to the continuation of pirate attacks off the Somali coast, especially around the Puntland region.

The Puntland Government is also genuinely sorry about the protracted piracy problem that is getting out of control and quickly getting out of proportion. The newly elected President of Puntland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud (Farole), wishes to express his concern for the innocent victims and their families who are held hostage by pirate gangs.
