Pirates in the high seas of Puntland

Apart from the Waki report,the problem of piracy in the waters of puntland dominates Kenyan news today.Yesterday, the royal navy arrested 8 heavily armed young men of somali descent approximately 540 nauts into the Indian ocean, the same day that saw the pirates of puntland hijack a saudi Arabia registered ship (the biggest catch ever), that was ferrying crude to Kenya.

So far, the piracy industry is worth 30 million US dollars and promises to grow if ships continue plying this route.The arrested Somalis are in some police station in Nairobi Kenya and as we speak, Kenya is on the brink of invading Somalia due to what the Kenyan government terms as invasion of Kenya's northern frontier by Somali militia.Somali militia who are currently operating in Mandera are still holding two Italian nuns and a Kenyan man who they kidnapped a fortnight ago.

The situation in the horn of Africa is worsening, as Sudan accuses Kenya and Ethiopia of Meddling in its affairs.Ethiopian soldiers are still occupying Mogadishu and now Kenya wants to invade.

What Kenyans are to expect is a rise in terrorism....the kind we hear about in Pakistan where suicide bombers strike on a daily basis.What the Kenyan government should do is to stop being manipulated by America and other western imperialist governments because as far as everybody is concerned, Kenyan borders are as porous as sandy soil....unlike Ethiopia, Kenya does not have the military might to fight two wars.
