Oddities of Somali pirates

World public opinion calls them pirates. These words make romantic associations in our memories. Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha (Khidrir Reis), Vikings, Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean are the first names to come to mind.



Pirates were democracies at a time when democracies were not. The captain was selected on the tapes. Mission continuous action, continuous attack. The captain was not supposed to come to the side of the bed, had to find ways to attack the captain and get the booty. The assistant was again selected by the crew. His task was to divide the spoils properly, to ensure the functioning of the rules. The booty for the crew was very important. Because there was no other purpose or means of livelihood.

Particularly in recent years, those living in the Gulf of Aden have updated the pirate again. Somalis pirates are kidnapping ships, robbing them and asking for ransom. Initially, they are targeting international fishing companies, then oil rigs and now oil tankers.

These people from the Puntland region of Somalia, with speed guns equipped with heavy weapons, are storming in the Gulf of Aden. In order to fight against them, various armies are coming ...

Are they bandits, rebels, religious terrorists, who are they?

The assailants reached 240 in mid-June. However, this figure was 114 last year. According to a survey by Somali's independent internet news site Wardher News, 70 percent of the people support and justify the pirates. Because they protect national waters and their rights, they come out.

However, looking at the general view, the opposite is the case. Among the blessings of globalization; Transferring goods, opposing free trade, hijacking ships, keeping ship personnel, ransoming, and al-Qaeda-linked terrorists.

What's causing the pirates to take these actions, which has kept them for days on the ship crew?

Somalia has been in civil war since 1991. Muhammad Siad Barre was "terrorist" Islamist, and was headed by the international operation. A temporary administration was established instead. The new administration has failed to establish public and social order. The country is divided into 7 state divisions. Moreover, civil war between Muslim groups, wars between families, the lack of industry and agriculture, a fragmented fishery sector, the western settlement of underground and surface resources, the number of children per woman of 6.2, .

Especially the north of the country was even more influenced by the negativity. While tens of thousands of people were trying to survive fishing, the big fishermen from around the world plundered these beasts. So much so that even an Iranian-flagged ship was hunting here. (Later pirates were abducted.)

Mangrove forests in Somalia have been plundered for years by Western companies for their furniture and wood needs. In 2004 Tsunami hit a new blow to the neighborhood. While over 300 people lost their lives, over 18 houses completely disappeared. Soils and groundwaters are salted. 65 percent of the country's population lacks clean water. We need dozens of rains and rain for the water to be able to drink again. Biodiversity and balance are down. Poisonous wastes left on the coast lead to pollution.

It's open. Uranium from nuclear power plants does not disappear for millions of years. No technique and method is alive and it can not prevent damage to nature. Moreover, even where most of these wastes are stored and transported, they are secretly kept by the managers.

ODM from Lugano in the field of nuclear waste storage is a world famous company. Even on the Internet it carries the title of "the most reliable company". The company's proprietor Giorgio Comerio makes a million-dollar offer to former Mahmoud Ali Mahdi, who lives in northeastern Somalia. The aim is to store nuclear waste there.

Mafia solidarity



Whether it is investigating this event, Italian television program Illaria Alpi and Miran Hrovatin. The information they gather for this purpose informs them that there is a hidden waste of nuclear waste in Somalia. They are executed on the street for 2 hours to meet with two officers working in the nuclear cemetery store in Somalia's Mogadishu city.

Those who want to expose their dirty connections do not die. As a result of these reactions and rumors emerging on October 8, 2007, the Potenza provincial chief prosecutor (Southern Italy) sued on the grounds that "radioactive wastes were sold to the mafia and the waste uranium was illegally marketed". The defendants of the case are the 7th Director of the National Research and Development Bureau (ENEA) in the State Institute of Technology, Energy and Environment. It is alleged that the administrators have imported radioactive waste from other European countries, stored it in southern Italy and sold it to the mafia to get rid of it, and that the mafia has disposed of it outside Italy. It is also suggested that these wastes are likely to be taken over by Islamic terrorists.

A parliamentary inquiry committee is established on the subject. Dirty relations are scattered in the middle.

Francesco Fonti, the former leader of the country's leading mafia leader and Gladyoye, confessed to the commission that he had previously been released: "I negotiated with the ENEA director Tommaso Candelieri on the disposal of nuclear power plant waste. He personally paid 400,000 Euros in advance for this work. We buried the nuclear waste of Switzerland, Spain, Germany and France in the waters by sinking a ship in Somalia. "

Massimo Scalia, head of the Italian Parliament's Research Commission, said in a statement to the Inter Press Agency: "Italy earns $ 7 billion a year from the trade of atomic waste. At $ 250 per ton, it is exported to African countries at $ 2.5 per tonne. In 2001 alone, 600 thousand tons of nuclear waste was sunk in Africa. Not only Somalia, Zaire, Malawi, Eritre, Algeria, Mozambique are among these countries. "

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) report, which examines the Tsunami disaster on December 26, 2004, is presented at the 23rd session of the more than one hundred nations' environmental ministers in Nairobi on 21-25 July 2005. The report is appalling: "As a result of the tsunami, Somali's borders have not been ruined, especially nuclear waste has been scattered across the coast. Many people in the tsunami affected regions have faced unusual health problems. Respiratory diseases, stomach bleeding, skin rashes and diseases and sudden deaths have occurred. "

The report on page 134 of the Commission's report also documents how developed countries use Africa as their landfill: "Somalia is one of many underdeveloped countries and has been unloading and sinking ships filled with countless atomic waste and other harmful wastes since the early '80s . Among these waste materials are uranium, cadmium, lead, processed silver. "
