Sanaag Pirates claim to have captured a ship with toxic waste and illegal fishing tra

[King_Sasa]

LaasqorayNET has discovered that the hijacked American own tugboat was ferrying a toxic waste which is in the hands of the local Pirates in East of historical City of Laasqoray on the Coast of Sanaag region, North East of Somalia.

 

Local elders have confirmed to LaasqorayNET that they have themselves visited the location of the hijacked tugboat while on negotiating the release of the boat and so suspicious tank that looked like chemical waste containers.

 

Also, Elders have confirmed to us that the Italians offered quick money and without publicity in return of their release.

 

On the other hand, one of the abductees has told the media that they were not part of the wider network of Somali Pirates but local fisher men who were defending their coastal area and they were willing to hand over the seamen to UN body after UN investigates.

 

The Sanaag pirates are also holding another 2 Egyptian owned fishing trawlers that were fishing illegally in Sanaag waters on the red sea coast.

 

Egypt and Italy are yet to talk about these 3 ships and that raises more questions about the intention of the hijacked vessels.

 

It has been well documented that foreign countries had been dumping chemical and nuclear waste in Somali coastal areas in many years and that effected many locals with unknown diseases.

 

Last year, locals reported that many people in the areas around the northeastern towns of Laasqoray and Durduri, on the Red Sea coast, are suffering from far higher than normal cases of respiratory infections, mouth ulcers and bleeding, abdominal haemorrhages and unusual skin infections

 

In 2005, an UN report suggested that the current situation along the Somali coastline poses a very serious environmental hazard not only in Somalia but also in the eastern Africa sub-region.

 

Few international media reported the toxic dump in Somalia’s coastal area and late last year Aljazeera reported well publicized article on the toxic waste in Somalia.[Read here].

They need not fall in a trap and keep their eyes open and also highlight with pictures and writen statements from the crew of the cargo. Money alone wont do.

[Somali Pirate]

good.

 

take pictures and documentary evidence and hand these *******s to the united nations and american military

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

This is the only opportunity pirates will ever have to draw attention to the pillaging of our seas by foreign mafia. If this toxic cargo allegation is accurate, these buccaneers need to launch an effective media campaign with pictures and interviews to highlight this very shadowy side of the piracy issue.

[ADNAAN]

Where is universal TV and other Somali TV channels and Mohamad Adow , we need to highlight what is happening here.

 

What puzzles me is how come most piracy operations take place very close to yemen and no yemenis are involved. Surely, they have coast guards if they deny having pirates..

 

[Ismahaan]

The current situation along the Somali coastline poses a very serious environmental hazard. Our country suffers from almost all types of environmental degradations and the sad thing is it is lacking both human and financial resources as well as political stability to address these life affecting issues. We now need to urgently send in multi-agency expert mission, led by Somalis chemical experts and scientific laboratory technicians.

Somalia’s secret dumps of toxic waste washed ashore by tsunami

[Ashkiro]

It's no secret Somalia (like many other poor nations) has been the dumping ground of these countries and companies, not to mention stealing of these poor nations resources. What really ticks me off is the coverage in the media, not suprising afterall it's American Media but really! The only agency i enjoy and listen to is NPR, and not once did they show this side of the story, I've made sure they heard from me. I hope all of you on this board, writing or reading, since this issue is the topic of the day, will contact and send your comments to the media outlets (Start with NPR!). It will only take a mere 2 minutes of your time.

[Somali Pirate]

i hope puntland admin hauls these egyptian fishing thieves and italian polluters before the entire world.

 

these *******s are still at it.

[General Duke]

The poison has not yet killed mother Somalia folks, its time to rise up before its too late.

[NASSIR]

This Somali article gives us a lucid analysis and review of how the killing of the young boys were seen as covered by the American press---which all were in accord in the ferocity of their demonization of Somalis and with racist overtones.

Wariyeyaasha qoraya Maqaalladaasi oo ah kuwa Mareykan ayaa kula taliyay in Kooxaha Burcad badeedka Soomaalida haddiiba fursad lagu helo in aanan loo hakan oo durba lagu fuliyo toogashada haddii kale noloshooda ay halis kuyihiin.

 

Inkastoo ay sidaasi u jees jeeseen ayaa hadana waxaa ay tilmaameen in Maamulka Obama ay guul u tahay arrintaasi, lakin Burcad badeeda ayaa dhankooda iyaguna ku hanjabay in hadda kadib ameerikaankii ay gacanta kudhigeen xittaa haddii ay heystaan sakiin ay ku gawraci doonaan.
