THOSE MERCENARIES WERE TROUBLE ANYWAYS! GOOD RIDDANCE!
THE UNITED NATIONS SHOULD HELP PUNTLAND ESTABLISH A FUNCTIONING NAVY, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY SOMALIS CAN CONTROL THEIR WATERS! :up:

That has been tried any equipment and training given to puntland has only been used to extend the reach of the pirates. Don't forget some of the pirates are police officers and some are PIS. They are being sold the weapons by professionals who are even managing the entire negotiation process and keeping the Lion share of the ransom money.

Why is there no piracy anywhere else, the local authority run by faroole need to stop ignoring this problem before the problem begins to manage them.

Look at this outcast distorting the facts. The SCG (aka pirates) are in Hobyo and Xarardheere also. They are not necessarily confined to PL only. This outcast is into the business of creating disinformation and has gotten her facts wrong :shock: :lol:

Divert attention from yourself, derail all dialogue, disturb the peace :shock:

You invented Al-qaida affiliation then exported it to Southern towns.

Now you are exporting piracy to southern towns???

Pirates only exist in Eyl which is 100miles away from Gerowe and gar'ad, Bargaal and all the surrounding towns around gerowe.

Pirates holding ships off Harardhere in central Somalia are moving them after disputes over ransom sharing with the Al-Qaeda-linked rebels controlling the town, local sources said Friday.

Pirate sources in the nearby pirate lair of Hobyo, off the shores of which most of the 40-plus vessels currently hijacked are now anchored, said Shebab fighters in Harardhere were asking for 20 percent of the ransom payments.

Local businessmen who finance part of the pirates' operating costs in exchange for a share of the ransoms refused, resulting in the arrest of four of them by the Shebab.

"The Islamists have arrested four of our investors. They asked for a 20-percent share of ransoms expected to be paid for ships held off Harardhere, but the investors rejected the demand," Abdi Yare, a Hobyo pirate chief, said.

"There were around nine ships -- three of them big ones -- held off Harardhere but the ships started shifting from the area because of the disputes," he told AFP.

Hobyo, north of Harardhere, is controlled by clans hostile to the Shebab.

Abdikarim Moalim, a fisherman near Hobyo, said one of the ships that left Harardhere because of the argument anchored off Hobyo late Thursday.

He said the hijacked vessels held off Harardhere, the small town where modern Somali piracy originated in 2003-2004, were being moved north to Hobyo and Labad.

Another pirate who asked not to be identified also confirmed the arrests.

The Shebab, who control most of south and central Somalia, were initially opposed to piracy, arguing it is outlawed under Islam.

Piracy operations have however been conducted from Shebab-controlled areas recently, suggesting some form of arrangement between the two sides.

The Shebab have failed to break the back of the transitional federal government in Mogadishu despite a two-year-old offensive and are constantly looking for new sources of funding.

So far, there has been no evidence however of Shebab fighters actively conducting piracy operations or benefiting from piracy in any other way than by charging a "docking fee" to pirates active in areas they control.
The Somali Coast Guard (aka pirates) are found in all over Somalia.

sorry to have made you waste your minutes typing that i refuse to read it. Piracy originated and is still only prevalent in The Nugaal province which hold the puntland District capital Gerowe. Gerowe is the main benefactor from the ransoms and the revenues generated by the pirates. International community should request Faroole to demolish all properties whose funding cannot be traced to legitimate sources!

To end piracy we must tackle the sponsors of piracy and it's main benefactors namely the puntland district government.

There simply is no piracy outside of Bari and nugaal, all other incidents are probaganda generated by Gerowe media.
