The way to end Somali piracy is to hire Ethiopian mercenaries to simly move in, destroy the facilities used by the pirates, burn their villages and boats, and to kill their young men. Their young women can be sterilized so the Ethiopians don't have to kill them too. Western fingerprints wont be on this action.

Damn, is it really that easy to convince people to commit war crimes?

The last time the Ethiopians were directly involved, things didn't work so well...

..... what?
I swear, This must be how it is in the US Oval office when they are deciding policies and foreign interference.
Display little to no knowledge of the complex history in that region of the world they are targeting and spout out ridiculous suggestions expecting it to work.

If Ethiopia ever did any of that. It will be the day Al Qaeda is welcomed with open arms to Horn of Africa.

Damn, is it really that easy to convince people to commit war crimes?

It's an African country that is target, are we really that surprised law doesn't protect them as well as it would if this was a Western country?

The last time the Ethiopians were directly involved, things didn't work so well...

Yeah.
Those self centrered bastards destroyed the only chance of peace Somalia had with their holier than thou, this way is the only right way,
Now the Extremists has been born in HOA and Ethiopia is worried again. Good. Some call it cause and effect ... I prefer to think of it as poetic justice.

You mean invading a country (not very well I might add) installing a weak and innefective central government in the middle of a hostile city and then withdrawing was a bad idea? :2razz:

Al Qaeda is already everywhere in the Horn of Africa. That's one of the reasons you no longer live there.

Don't like Ethiopians? Fine. Hire Eritreans. They can be bought.

Al Qaeda has nothing to do with it. :2wave:

Eritrea funds weapons in Somalia against Ethiopia because Ethiopia is a common focus of dislike. :roll:

I know that. So what? The Eritreans can be bought. Money talks. Eritreans can attack Puntland with absolute impunity. Eritreans can kill all the young Somali men of Puntland and no one will give a ****.
 
Re: SKorea storms Somali pirates to rescue ship crew Read more: http://www.foxnews.c

In this instance. Congrats to the Koreans for a successful operation.

As for the overall problem. Killing will not solve it... entirely.

Unless you're willing to destroy every coastal town capable of launching a skiff in Somalia.
Let's see... I give you a gun with the chambers half full of bullets and say you get a million if you pull the trigger. You going to be a Darwin Awards winner for 2011?

Sure there will still be a few morons willing to give it a pull, but my bet is far, far fewer when the word gets out their odds of survival are not very good.

I don't think you seem to be understanding me when I say everyone hates Ethiopia.
Oh and Eritrea doesn't like US. I should have said that earlier.

Eritrea wouldn't step foot in Puntland as it has to go through Somaliland :2wave:

Well you get the drift. Third world mercenaries can be bought. Then brought to Puntland on Third World vessels where they land, burn the villages, kill all of the residents, burn the fishing boats, and go back to the Third World. There will be no Western fingerprints on this. It will just be a case of Third Worlders killing other Third Worlders. No one in the West will care about Somali men, women and children murdered by other Third Worlders. Transportation for the mercenaries is not a problem. The Somalis have no real defense against such utter and complete ruthlessness. :)

You know nothing if that is what you truly think. Eritrea knows better to not mess with Somalis. Ethiopia didn't lear, which is why it is facing extremists and losing
Hell we almost took Ethiopia's capital in one of our last wars as a united nation. Somalia could easily get weapons from Iran if we wanted because of our geographic location and the fact we have Uranium. Or Arabs/other African countries who don't like Ethiopia or dislike US :shrug:
The possibilities are endless, no one but Somalis can tame our country. Everyone else will try and fail

Everything has a Western thumb print. Name any massive disturbance/screw up in the world and a Western country somewhere down the line had a hand.

Forget Ethiopians and Eritreans. Get Congolese or Sri Lankans or Pakistanis or Timorese. The world is full of Third World Mercenaries looking to make a buck or a pound.

The point isn't to tame Somalis. The point is to kill Somalis. Taming Somalis is impossible. Killing Somalis in huge numbers is easy. It just requires a hard heart and a determination to end Somali piracy.

The only way to slow down the Somali pirates is to threaten to kill their women and children. And if they don't stop, it's necessary to make good on the threat.

Somalis have a very high opinion of themselves, but they are not ten feet tall. But there is one rule of life the Somali pirates can't avoid: Cut the head off the snake and the tail don't rattle.

This is a joke which is getting worse by the second and I'm quickly losing patience with your stupidity.
Lol at threatening to kill children to stop Pirates. Won't work but let me know how that strategy works out yeah?

Sure genocide is easy. What country will be the one doing it? No African country wants to step foot in Somalia, they are not stupid. Even AU soldiers are wary.
Ethiopia has been slapped back by the Islamists, they won't do anything large scale in Somalia in a long time.
Not even including the large population of Somalis in African countries. EA and beyond :2wave:

12 Minnesotans indicted in terror probe
Two Rochester women are accused of raising money for a Somali group linked to Al-Qaida.


By JAMES WALSH, ALLIE SHAH and RICHARD MERYHEW, Star Tribune staff writers

Last update: August 5, 2010 - 11:41 PM

Federal officials in Washington, D.C., announced the indictments of 14 people -- including 12 Minnesotans -- for allegedly providing support to a Somali terrorist organization with ties to Al-Qaida. That number includes two Rochester women who were arrested at their homes Thursday morning.

Amina Farah Ali, 33, and Hawo Mohamed Hassan, 63, both naturalized American citizens, are the first women to be charged in what has been called one of the most sweeping counterterrorism investigations since the attacks of 9/11. They have been charged with fundraising for Al-Shabab, which the United States has classified as a terrorist organization.

Attorney General Eric Holder said of the charges: "These indictments and arrests -- in Minnesota, Alabama and California -- shed further light on a deadly pipeline that has routed funding and fighters to Al-Shabab from cities across the United States."

That pipeline has led directly to Minnesota, where at least 20 young local Somalis have been recruited by Al-Shabab to go overseas and fight. Five have since died in Somalia's civil war. Another Minneapolis man, a convert to Islam, was killed. Five others have pleaded guilty to charges in connection to the case. Another sits in jail in the Netherlands, awaiting extradition.

According to the indictments unsealed Thursday, Hassan and Ali communicated by phone with members of Al-Shabab in Somalia and then worked to raise money for the group here in Minnesota.

Advertising that their fundraising was to help the poor and needy in their homeland, the women went door-to-door to raise funds. They also tapped into teleconferences -- group chat lines used by the Somali community to share news. Sometimes, investigators said, the women were more brazen, openly appealing for money to support Al-Shabab and its work to further violent jihad, or holy war.

I think Somalis can defend themselves if the occasion calls for it against attempted genocide of our women and children which is exactly what you'd want.

Actually I don't care about Somalia or any country in the eastern hemisphere.

You have no problem with the evil done to innocent sailors by Somali pirates. So why should anyone care about what happens to Somalis? You're simply a Somali nationalist.

There is a difference between not caring and calling for genocide.

Nahhhh ... you just caught on did you? Christ

Why don't you care about the six hundred plus innocent civilians being held captive by Somali pirates? Why won't the Somalis release them? Can you answer these questions?

Let me get this straight. You called for the deaths of children and women to stop a minority of criminals and you have the cheek to ask me why I don't care about civilians?

Did anyone ask themselves why these men started what they are doing today? Ofc not, it is always the poor country who is the wrong

Do you think Somali pirates are justified in committing crimes against innocent sailors?

I'm not going to condemn them. If that is what you are asking, if any ship enters Somali waters then yes. It deserves to be nicked. They are doing no different to what happened to them :shrug:

IW is a different issue

But all ships being taken by Somali pirates are seized in international waters. None are being seized in Somali waters which only extend twelve miles from the coast. So why won't your countrymen release the six hundred innocents?

Re: SKorea storms Somali pirates to rescue ship crew Read more: http://www.foxnews.c

International waters begin twelve miles from the Somali coast. How many ships have been seized by your countrymen within that twelve mile limit? How many ships have been seized beyond the twelve mile limit?
