Mr. Somalia Posted November 30, 2009 Press Releases Response: Piracy Comments made by the Ex-president of Puntland State of Somalia 30 Nov 30, 2009 - 2:25:49 AM An Eid-ul-Adha speech presented by the former president of the Puntland State of Somalia Adde Muse regarding members of the armed forces joining the Somali pirates during his term of office has been wrongly translated and reported to mean the current coast guard and members of the security forces joining the infamous pirates of Somalia. This information, reported by local and some international media, is false and baseless. It is locally and internationally recognized that the Puntland government does not have a functional coastguard and is in the process of re-establishing a coast guard with the close collaboration and support of the international community The incidence of piracy along the Puntland coast has been greatly reduced thanks to the new government policy that addresses issues like the timely payment of salaries for the armed forces. The issue of timely salary payment that was not prioritized by the former government may have caused a great number of their armed forces to resort to alternative ways of living, which allegedly included illegal and unlawful actions including kidnappings and possible piracy on the coastlines of the Puntland State of Somalia which is not the case at the present time. The ex-president blamed certain parties for the responsibility of the recent assassinations, however, the government of Puntland has not made an official announcement of the culprits since intensive investigations are underway and any misinformation related to this issue may jeopardize investigations. The only assertion that can be said so far is that these ruthless assassinations were committed by elements against the peace, stability, development and prosperity of the Puntland State of Somalia.
