Columbia Student solves Piracy in 3 minutes

Columbia?? wtf...

piracy is good for puntland and rest of south somalia, and somaliland. cause they watch our sea!!¨

these idiot think, they can fish free in our sea...bitch please.

This is one ignorant negro, he is but a slave of his masters, as lowly as a black-american or a troll like INSEARCH_OF STUPIDITY aka Adara. He cares nothing for Somalis, as I said, I don't need a college degree (I'm getting an accounting degree), to know that these bandits are using and abusing out waters, their ultimate goal is to control of the gulf of aden, vital in Somalia's power someday. Without it, we shall be nothing, and this uncle-tom is ready to steal it from under our noses!

It's not good because these mafia guys will get so rich that if peace ever comes we will have huge problems with corruption and get our own Somalian mafia.

Lol, average damage rate yearly is 20 billion, thats only insurance.

Notice the picture at the background, at the back of the gallow!

China has stolen almost 20 billion dollars in and around the last 15 years from Somalia sea,

Stop the real pirates China India

i am wondering what all dis idiot foreigners are doing our coastal they do every thing in our sea (fishing,putting of all chemical wastage,) so we agree what all dis pirates are doing and i bleive that the pirates are HEROS who srtugging their country and their ppl.

I've watched the video, the only thing I do agree with filmaker on points. It is a land based problem and the solution lies there. Also, it is far cheaper than what is spent on these foreign navy ships along the somali coast. But the Somali Navy Commander to suggest that with heavily armed 10,000 men and with a meagre budget of $2000,000, he can destroy the pirates was laughable.

Piracy is a real problem for the common man and woman in Somalia. Not long ago, these pirates managed to seize ships that were delivering aid to Somalis and demanded ransom from the ship owners. If the pirates had their way, the prices of consumer imported goods will skyrocket as there wouldn't be ships willing to travel to Somalia. I've met Somali business people in Dubai who told me that piracy has impeded the delivery of goods to Somalia and increased their shipping expenses. They would rather use expensive air-cargo in which they would pass the extra expenses to the Somali consumer, rather than ultilise the cheap sea-route for their goods. It takes an average of 6 months to a year to release a ship, and by then, most of the imported food products and medicine would have expired. It also affected Somali exports. Piracy affects the average Ahmed and Halimo as much as it does affect the ship owners coupled with the maths of piracy doesn't add up; The pirates earn rougly arround $100-$150,000,000 and illegal fishing costs Somalia between $800 million and a billion $$ p/a. How could you calculate the cost of toxic waste dumping when it affects the lives of so many Somalis.

Piracy in Somalia started as a small group of fishermen who got together to protect their resources from illegal fishing and toxic waste dumping along the Somali coast. They were seen as the 'un-official' somali navy protecting their waters. But now, Somali criminal elements joined the fray and it became a lucrative business. It has reached an epidemic porportion. These pirates are no Robin Hoods and haven't invested within their own communities. They haven't built schools, clinics, roads and etc. Now, every kid in a piracy stronghold wants to become a sea-lord entrepreneur.

How to eradicate piracy and at the sametime benefit the locals?

First, those foreign navies should protect the
Somali sea resources from fish pirates and toxic waste dumpers along the somali coast.

Somalia never had piracy problems when a functioning government was in place. Invest in a
professional, well disciplined and trained navy under the auspicies of the TFG. In collaboration with the local elders and populace and air support from foreign countries, pirates could be flushed out from their enclaves. But;

Use the sticks and carrot approach to seperate the locals from the pirates. The pirates only operate from their tribal enclaves, and since they are heavily armed, they show very little respect to their tribal leaders. Show the locals that their long term interests lie in opposing piracy. Build their confidence and trust by investing in schools clinics and fishery related businesses. Give them hope and a better future. With the approval and the consent of the elders and the locals, destroy the land safe havens of the pirates.
