^^^I dont know how you know the opinions of the Pirates that we arrested today, however. The local elections and the depth of leadership of the Mugged, Mugger and the Magnoon is always exciting.

Al Jazeera's coverage of Erdogans speech.. 'Extraordinarily strong' In a speech to legislatorson Tuesday, Erdogan said: "It is no longer possible to cover up or ignore Israel's lawlessness. "The international community must from now on say 'enough is enough'. "Dry statements of condemnation are not enough ... there should be results." Anita McNaught, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Istanbul, said Erdogan's speech was "extraordinarily strong". She said he "mentioned the unmentionable, saying that Israel acts because it has powerful friends". Turkey called for a strong international response to the raid, with Erdogan saying he would be speaking to Barack Obama, the US president, later in the day.

Some might think that everything is the same, even the head of Mossad is admiting that the nation is becoming a problem for its greatest ally... Mossad chief: Israel becomes U.S. 'burden' June 1 (UPI) -- Israel has gradually been turning into a "burden" on the United States since the end of the Cold War, the head of the Israeli secret service said Tuesday. Meir Dagan, chief of the Mossad, addressed the Knesset's Foreign Aid and Defense Committee, The Jerusalem Post reported. He said the Obama administration has concluded neither Israel nor the Palestinian Authority is ready for a peace agreement. "Israel is gradually turning from an asset to the United States to a burden," he said.

Turkey will not go to war with the US over a few deaths, but Israel will be more isolated, and the US will have a difficult time with Iran, since it needed Turkey to help. The truth is, Turkey is a stronger nationa than the Jewsih state...

The man at the center, with the Mugged ones all around

The people of NW Somalia have a clear choice in 2010. They can go for the relative stability and what they have come to know in the recent past. Go for Riyaale, the Mugger extraordinaire, or they can take a chance with SNM Warlord Siilanyu, who has promised that he would curb the power of the Awdal clan militia and bring about a final victory for the SNM, and their delusional secessionist project. We also have Faisal Warrabe, a former spy, who is a big draw in this circus. Should he win, it will be a great moment for Somaliweyn, since Faisal is not competent enough to run a lavatory let alone a region. Good luck to all the contestants, and may the Mugging stop.

^^^I wish Riyaale a smooth Mugging operation, and to keep the secessionist like you foaming from the mouth. As you were, dont lose the voice now.

^^^Yeah, but if the International community were serious they would support, Puntland and not waste money on silly Naval patrols and supporting a government in Mogadishu that controls a street in Mogadishu,. Somali's realise they must take their nations fate in their own hands...

So, finally that the much delay "political match" has begun... Yeah right, two years Riyaale, just pushed it back untill he knew he had everything in place so he could Mugg the SNM once again and in style. Now look at him smiling as they welcome his coronation.

Reuters Somali troops storm cargo ship but pirates kill captain BOSSASO Somalia (Reuters) - Soldiers from Somalia's Puntland region stormed a Panama-flagged cargo vessel held by pirates, but gang members killed the captain in the operation, a minister said on Thursday. World "Our troops stormed the Panama-flagged vessel and engaged the pirates. There was brief fighting before they defeated them," Said Mohamed Raage, Minister of Ports and Marine Transport, told Reuters. "We arrested seven pirates after they killed the captain of the ship." Semi-autonomous Puntland is a base for sea gangs targeting the Gulf of Aden, but is more peaceful than the rest of the failed Horn of Africa state. Pirates seized the MV QSM Dubai cargo ship and its 24 crew members from Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Ghana on Wednesday. The 15,220 deadweight tonne vessel was taken inside the internationally recommended transit corridor and had come from Brazil. Raage said the ship was carrying sugar to Bossaso.

Al Jazeera Somali forces free ship Seven pirates were arrested in the operation, while two Somali troops were injured [AFP] Security forces from Somalia's Puntland region have stormed a Panama-flagged cargo vessel held by pirates, freeing the ship's crew. However, the pirates killed the Pakistani captain of the MV QSM Dubai during the confrontation on Wednesday, according to a Somalian government official. "Our troops stormed the Panama-flagged vessel and engaged the pirates," Said Mohamed Raage, the ports and marine transport minister, said on Thursday. "There was brief fighting before they defeated them. "We arrested seven pirates after they killed the captain of the ship." Two Somali soldiers were injured in the gun battle, which freed 24 crew members from Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Ghana. Somali forces decided to use force after the pirates refused to surrender, Raage said. The ship was carrying sugar from Brazil to Bossaso, a city in northern Somalia, he said. The 15,220 tonne MV QSM Dubai was captured by pirates while it was travelling inside of the internationally recommended transit corridor. Puntland, a semi-autonomous region in northern Somalia, is a base for pirate gangs targeting ships in the Gulf of Aden. But the area is generally more peaceful than the rest of the country.

The pirates, who refused to surrender, killed the captain of the ship, he said. There was a brief shoot-out with the seven pirates before they were captured, he added. The pirates seized the 15,000-tonne ship, MV QSM Dubai, in the Gulf of Aden in the early hours of Wednesday. "Our troops stormed the Panama-flagged vessel and engaged the pirates. There was brief fighting before they defeated them," Said Mohamed Raage, Minister of Ports and Marine Transport, said. "We arrested seven pirates after they killed the captain of the ship." The vessel has a crew of 24 made up of Ghanaian, Egyptian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals, and was taking supplies to northern Somalia. It was sailing from Brazil in the "internationally recommended transit corridor" in the gulf when it was seized. Puntland, which declared itself an autonomous state within Somalia in 1998, has been used by pirates as a base of operations. On Wednesday, the crew of a Libyan-owned merchant ship seized by Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden were reported to have recaptured their vessel.

Oodweyne is upset again. Which is always a good thing.

SOMALIA: Puntland forces free hijacked ship June 3, 2010 It is not the first rescue operation by the Puntland forces. In 2008 and 2009, Puntland forces succesfully freed two hijacked ships, rescuing the hostages and arresting almost 20 pirates. “We can’t allow pirates to hijack all Somali-bound cargo ships, this will seriously hurt our economy and the poor people of Somalia,” Mr. Raage said. Puntland leaders have previously criticized the lack of aid from foreign powers to help the region fight piracy. In 2009 Puntland state requested $20 million dollars annually to combat domestic piracy. In Puntland, prisons are stretched to their limits with more than 300 arrested pirates and Puntland needed assistance to increase its jail capacity say officials. Somali pirates are currently holding at least 19 vessels and several hundred crew members. Piracy had emerged as an industry for a wide range of people, including brokers and facilitators, disrupting the region’s traditional economy. Horseed Media

Somalia: Puntland forces forcible free hijacked ship 3 Jun 3, 2010 - 2:32:12 AM Puntland security forces have on Thursday forcible released a hijacked ship carrying goods destined for the ports of Bosaso and Berbera, Garowe Online has learnt. Pirates seized on Wednesday Panama-flagged, MV QSM Dubai and her 24 crewmembers comprising of Egyptian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Ghanaian nationals in the Gulf of Aden. Said Mohamed Rage, Puntland’s Minister of Ports and Marine Transport told GO the operation was a well-coordinated one that resulted to minimum casualties and the liberation of the 15,220-tonne vessel with her 24 multinational crew. He however, stated that the pirates have killed the ship’s Pakistani captain while three soldiers have sustained minor injuries. Seven suspected pirates have also been arrested in the operation. Reports that reached Garowe Online said the injured soldiers are been treated by Nato forces, who also played crucial role in the rescue operation. Mr. Rage said lamented about lack of international support to enable Puntland forces conduct such rescue missions to liberate ships and crew held against their will in Somalia’s troubled coast. It is the third time for Puntland forces to free a hijacked ship from pirates, an action that sends clear message to the sea gangs. Puntland government has vowed to forcible free any ships bound for its ports hijacked by ransom-hunting pirates but cautioned over ability to do the same on the foreign ships held by the sea buccaneers. More than 20 ships and over 300 crews are currently held by pirates along the coast of Horn of Africa waiting for ransom to paid. GAROWE ONLINE
