Somali piracy and the strange concentration of Navy
Labels:
Views
Under the assumption that nobody has ever worried about Somalia in the past 18 years of civil war, now "thanks" to the Piracy there’s a race to bring warships in Somali waters.
Considering how narrow is the Gulf of Aden, which separates Somalia and Yemen, I naturally wonder whether such concentration of warships is normal.
By now there are 24 countries that already have the navy in the area, and every day one more country is joining the list. Norway has already announced its intention to send the Royal Norwegian Navy.
On the other hand the situation of the Somali civil war shows no signs of improving, despite the efforts and good intentions of the new President of Somalia.
I am convinced that if only these 25 countries were to support the new Somali government, instead of sending only warships, could win easily the piracy, saving so much money and time.
Time will tell.

perché l'ONU ha stabilito che le nazioni amiche possono entrare nel territorio marittimo con le loro navi senza attendere l'autorizzazione dello stato somalo?
e soprattutto dov'era l'ONU dagli anni novanta a oggi?

Veramente non so cosa volgia dire "Nazioni amiche" della Somalia, dato che per quesi 20 anni nessuna nazione s'è interessato della Somalia. In più mi sfugge proprio quale sia l'utilità dell'ONU se non come ufficio registro che leggittima a posteriori azioni e invasioni compiuti in modo illegittimo.

nazioni amiche non vuol dire niente, perché nessuno è amico di nessuno.
l'onu neppure è amico, essendo un'insieme di nazioni che curano i propri interessi. grazie per il blog.
ciao.
