then don't send people but atleast materials that they can use to fight time. like.. i dunno a plane or helicopter maybe?
Taxpayers' money again.
piracy is a problem for so many people and nations. it shouldn't be at the bottom.
It is below economic development, growth and austerity measures. Not many parties make combatting piracy in Somalia their campaign message; shows how far down the pecking order it it.
on the water yes. just to protect the ships.
The UN count for land troops is currently 17000, a massive number.
america isn't the only army. heck america doesn't has much to do whit it. it's mainly a european and asian problem because it's on that route. so i would assume that china, japan, india and the netherlands would be some of the players that want the thread to be gone fast.
and those countries are not that busy whit war atm.
Because many of these nations have already contributed ships. Singapore just sent a task force a few days ago; the global recession is still te foremost problem, not a few pirates in the Aden.
bombing the only safe place in somalia where not every single house is full whit bullet holes. would be stupid.
it has nothing to do whit recognizing it. it just common sense i guess.
That hasn't stopped any war thus far. Most nation don't care about Somalia to make such a big issue out of secessionist movements there; hence they have de facto control, which is only not recognized in rhetoric, the reality is, they are tacitly recognizing it.
how long did it take to recognize israel? somaliland is busy for 21 year now. does it realy take that long when is obvious they have a better and more stable government then the original country?
Because Somaliland is different. Israel was partitioned by the international community that's why it was recognized. Somalia wasn't.
well puntland fought whit somaliland for independence. they have together build the "border" between them and somalia.
sorry that i thought they were still together.
but if people can recognize 1 of them, then 2 of them will be even harder i guess.
But none are recognized.
make a visit there ;)
it's safe and stable. even more stable then congo.
in somaliland i don't have to fear for racists wanting to hurt me because of the color of my skin for example.
Well, I almost went to Kenya but since the region was too unstable, cause of al shahab that it was cancelled. Says a lot.
they already have that.
But you said they didn't need.
i
nflation of 3600% ?
global inflation is real but isn't this high.
beside pirates don't keep up whit the global inflation. they ask what they want and they always get what they want.
also are the costs for the alternative route almost dubble the normal price solely because it take dubble the time. and dubble the fuel. etc.
stating it will dubble is very safe.
I have problems with this. one, pirate are already being hammered. Second, it assumes much trade goes through the region such that it poses a far more significant problem than it is.
16.6 is a lot for African nations. Yet not all the ships are from Africa. And 16.6 is nothing compared with the austerity cuts some nations are taking.
