Somaliland receives counter piracy delegation

 

HARGEISA — Vice President Abdulrahman Abdullahi Ismail met at the presidential palace with a delegation from an Anti-Piracy group and the United Nations on Saturday for talks concerning the pressing issue of maritime piracy.

 

A press release issued by the government said Mr Ismail warmly received the chairman of Working Group 2 of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS), Ambassador Thomas Winkler, and two representatives from the UNODC Regional Office in East Africa, Shamus Mangan and Ann-Marie Brinkman.

 

The trip is a follow-up visit by the head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Mr Yury Fedotov, in late March to Hargeisa. Mr Fedotov met with President Ahmed Silanyo during the inauguration of the first pirate prison in East Africa. The two discussed counter piracy issues including criminal justice system, legal issues surrounding the transfer of pirates and prison conditions.

 

Saturday’s meeting was part of an ongoing iniatitives between Somaliland, UNODC and the Contact Group and the discussion was carried from where it was left in March.

 

Somaliland emphasized the importance of combating maritime piracy off its coast and the need for more coordinated efforts. In addition, it said the lack of up to date equipment and training hinders efforts on its part. Somaliland acknowledged its international duty and role in this matter. The United Nations on its side, promised to help Somaliland rehabilitate at least another ten prisons to ensure the system separates child prisoners from adults, women with all facilities having access to medical care.

The UN and the Contact Group’s concern were supported by today’s revelations about the escalating cost of maritime piracy by The Independent newspaper. The UK-based media mogul said piracy attacks have almost doubled in the last five years from 276 incidents in 2005 to 445 in 2010. Equally, the costs of piracy is expected to soar from $8.3bn in 2010 to $15bn by 2015. This week the UAE hosts an international conference on maritime piracy and the Gulf State is planning to pledge $17m to the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia. President Silanyo, who received an invitation to attend the meeting is already in UAE. Local sources said the UAE might donate some sort of fund to boost Somaliland’s coastguard.

 

For the time being Somaliland insists it will not take foreign captured pirates, but it wants to do all in its power to combat the sea gangs. Also Hargeisa says it does not want to offend or isolate Somali communities in regions where piracy has become way of life. The Government of Somaliland will only prosecute those who have broken its own laws.

 

It feels the international community should make a concerted effort to address the root causes of maritime piracy and the systematic looting of Somali marine resources and the continued dumping of toxic waste in Somali waters.
