A consultant and analyst in Kenya, Mohamed Abshir Waldo, has written a paper called “The Two Piracies in Somalia: Why the World Ignores the Other?” that looks at the root causes of the problem.
The “original” pirates, according to Waldo, “are the foreign trawlers and vessels who [have been] conducting illegal fishing on the Somali coast” since 1991. He also said that these same vessels have been dumping industrial, toxic, and nuclear waste in the water, ruining the Somali coast life. This was the reason “shipping piracy” emerged.
When the Somali community demanded the vessels to leave the area, they were met by “pouring boiling water on fishermen, shooting at them, and running over their canoes and fishing boats,” according to Waldo. When they were again ignored by the international community, and seeing their marine resources of a poor country being pillaged, they saw no choice but to fight. Therefore, the Somali empowered the National Volunteer Coast Guard, which is now known as the “Somali pirates” while the other “pirates,” as Waldo called them, are now protected by their navies.
Award-winning journalist Johann Hari argues in his paper “You Are Being Lied to about Pirates,” that “more than US$ 300 million worth of tuna, shrimp, lobster and other sea-life is being stolen every year by vast trawlers illegally sailing into Somalia's unprotected sea.”
He described the effect that the nuclear and toxic waste had on the health of the coastal population of Somalia: “[They suffered] from strange rashes, nausea and malformed babies. Then, after the 2005 tsunami, hundreds of the dumped and leaking barrels washed up on shore. People began to suffer from radiation sickness and more than 300 died.”...............
