Afri-Greek History, so easy a cave man can understand it.

Somalians Turn to Piracy to Defend Coasts from European Businesses

From Al-Jazeera English

Somali pirates have accused European firms of dumping toxic waste off the Somali coast and are demanding an $8m ransom for the return of a Ukranian ship they captured, saying the money will go towards cleaning up the waste.

The ransom demand is a means of "reacting to the toxic waste that has been continually dumped on the shores of our country for nearly 20 years", Januna Ali Jama, a spokesman for the pirates, based in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, said.

"The Somali coastline has been destroyed, and we believe this money is nothing compared to the devastation that we have seen on the seas."

The pirates are holding the MV Faina, a Ukrainian ship carrying tanks and military hardware, off Somalia's northern coast.

According to the International Maritime Bureau, 61 attacks by pirates have been reported since the start of the year.

While money is the primary objective of the hijackings, claims of the continued environmental destruction off Somalia's coast have been largely ignored by the region's maritime authorities.

From Huffington Post:

Did we expect starving Somalians to stand passively on their beaches, paddling in our nuclear waste, and watch us snatch their fish to eat in restaurants in London and Paris and Rome? We didn't act on those crimes - but when some of the fishermen responded by disrupting the transit-corridor for 20 percent of the world's oil supply, we begin to shriek about "evil." If we really want to deal with piracy, we need to stop its root cause - our crimes - before we send in the gun-boats to root out Somalia's criminals.
The story of the 2009 war on piracy was best summarised by another pirate, who lived and died in the fourth century BC. He was captured and brought to Alexander the Great, who demanded to know "what he meant by keeping possession of the sea." The pirate smiled, and responded: "What you mean by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, while you, who do it with a great fleet, are called emperor." Once again, our great imperial fleets sail in today - but who is the robber?

Introduction

Peace World!
This is my first entry, my first blog too I'll make a little intro I suppose........

I'm creating this blog to document a few things, to have a little archive that chronicles the time between me being a student, and becoming a teacher. I also want to have a small side project watching the progress of my male family members. My beloved mother and I have decided to raise proper men. One's hopefully not too affected by this society we find ourselves a part of.


In our family, we're not cultivating new age slaves. No prisoners, no materialism, no homosexuality.

As I said, this is my first blog so if anyone ever does come across this, and see it needs something, feel free to give me suggestions. I'll use them.

Peace.
