Re: Good news for a change
It is good news.
It's not like they were even taking risks, sailing where they did. They were a thousand miles away from the Somali coast. I love east Africa, but it's not somewhere I'd travel to now.

Re: Good news for a change
Looks like someone paid half a million in ransom money. I wonder who?

Re: Good news for a change
OK can someone please explain ...... Somalia is a failed State , no functioning Govt. total anarchy ....... so who gets/signs for the foriegn aid cheque ? and where does he/she cash it ? and more importantly who the heck authourised it.
Seems to me the best solution to the pirate problem is to just "Glass them over" |
