Somalia by KNaan

So what you know bout the pirates terrorize the

ocean.

To never know a simple day without a bigcommotion.

This quote claims that people are ignorant about the causes

of Somalian piracy.


18/34

The west is completely ignoring the

basis for piracy in Somalia. The

pirates are in the water because

there is a nationwide complaint

about the illegal mass fishing going

on in Somali waters. And nuclear

toxic waste is illegally being dumped

on our shores. People in Somalia

know about this

INTERVIEW WITH

GUARDIAN

Massive western companies would come to Somalia

and dump nuclear waste containers on the shorelines

so these pirates initially went into the ocean to make

them pay for that sort of thing so they just took

everything for ransom. That actually helped us clear

our environment

Country has been subjected

to extensive illegal dumpingoperations of toxic and

radioactive waste since the1980s

Italian weekly magazine Famiglia Cristiana had reported that, in

1997, UNEP undertook an extensive fact-finding field mission along

the Somali coasts7. The journalists reported that they had obtained a

copy of the assessment report according to which UNEPs mission

confirmed the toxic waste dumping along the Somali coast.


25/34

after the Tsunami disaster which hit also the Somali coast in December 2004 along with a dozen of other countries, the sea stirred up rotting

containers and leaking drums full of toxic substances that were previously dumped off the coast. The team had found 15 sealed containers

washed ashore by the Tsunami

UNEP Somalias coastline has been used as a dumping ground for other countries nuclear and hazardous wastes for many years as a result

of the long civil war and, thus, the inability of the authorities to police shipments or handle the wastes

Moreover, in an official hearing in 2006, an Italian

Minister told the aforementioned special parliamentary

commission that numerous elements indicate the

involvement in the previously mentioned [toxic

waste and army] traffic of European and non-European countries as well as the Mafia and

other individuals including a well known broker

who is also involved in a series of issues relatedto Somalia

The then Executive Director of UNEP,

Dr. Mostafa Tolba, confirmed5

and civil war in Somalia in order to dumpillegally hazardous toxic wastes onto the

countrys long coasts.Cites:

unusually high number of patients suffering from thyroid, tongue and colon cancer as

well as malformed newborn babies in the coastal city of Merka

SOS hospital in

Mogadishu reported an

excessive number ofmalformed babies

In addition, the article states that the

chemicals cause deformities in certain

animals.

Somalia relies heavily on fishing and on its

domestic breeding of animals.

The Chemicals have caused damage to the

animals.

Hence, Somalian fisherman have armed

themselves in order to fight the

contamination.

As a result, if the evidence is correct than we

may actually be ignorant as we have a

perception of Somalian pirates as savageextremists.

If the evidence provided above

is true than Somalian pirates do have a

rational reason for attacking ships and hence

the general mainstream view of Somalian

pirates may be wrong.

People could turn into pirates for other

reasons such as poverty from the long

Somalia civil war
