Somalia's pirates warn France

GAROWE, Somalia Sep 18 (Garowe Online) - A mysterious gentleman who called Somalia-based Radio Garowe on Thursday claimed to be the spokesman for a self-titled group called the Somali Youth Coastguard.

Identifying himself only as Mr. Wadani (nationalist, in Somali), he read an eight-point press release that included a grave warning to the French government.

"We will give a clear answer to the French government's action," Mr. Wadani said, while referring to French commandos who killed one suspected pirate, arrested six others and freed two French citizens who were being held hostage off of Somalia's Puntland coast. [ Full story]

Mr. Wadani demanded that the French government "immediately release the Somali youth," referring to the six suspected pirates arrested during Tuesday's military operation.

He warned that any attempt at further military action "will harm the safety of the hostages" aboard some 10 ships currently being held for ransom near Somali waters.

Foreign governments and ship owners were warned to "reach an immediate decision within 48 hours" so the ships and hostages can be freed or the pirates "will take an unexpected step," Mr. Wadani said while reading the press statement.

Further, the statement said that the Somali Youth Coastguard "will not accept the dumping of toxic waste or the robbing of natural resources" along the Somali coast.

All foreign vessels caught in Somali territorial waters illegally "will be fined," Mr. Wadani warned.

He distanced the group from any religious or political movement in Somalia, while describing the group as "a popular uprising" against years of international neglect that allowed the dumping of toxic waste along the Somali coastline.

the dumping of toxic waste along the Somali coastline.

Sorry, but the prisoners we made have not been dropped in the sea yet. Up to now, we still respect sharks and maritime fauna.

Why should we fear that scum? Our commandos will kick their asses as usual.

Case closed.

If fwance backs off the threat of the somali pirates.... fwance will sink to the bottom of cowardness and irrelevance. This would amount to running away when a chihuahua barks. Fwance should take a more "american" approach to this situation, label the pirates "terrorists" and invade somalia, kill a few hundred warlords, and establish a friendly government.

Hello! My name is Hubert!

We're very interesting by the US point of view.

Am I living in Bizarro world????? 10 ships are being held for ransom and the only ones to show balls are the French? Holy shit in a handbag.
I've given away more K to french in the past few days than I ever thought possible. I kinda... I kinda like this change of pace.

The sea will be blood red from the corpses of these "somali pirates".

I hope the sharks like dark-meat.

Clintoon shamed The U.S. in Somalia. We should have carpet bombed that place when the soldiers were being dragged around. The shame of dem presidents lives on in the U.S.

Time for drastic measures...

The mission behind the movie "Blackhawk Down" was a success. Ever single one of Adid's lieutenants was captured at the meeting and, without them, a rival was able to assassinate Adid within months.

And even outnumbered and fighting an entire city, the Rangers and Delta inflicted a 50:1 kill ratio on the Somalis. "Heroic" doesn't even begin to describe what our troops did.

France has nukes, commandos, the Foreign Legion, submarines, and a carrier.

France should immediately send commandos, escorted by a carrier task force, to the Somali coast and, ... (what? ... the Charles DeGaulle is .... is ... what?)

Oh, ... OK, .... never mind.

Don't need a hammer to crush a fly.

Just need this kind of ship, 1/3 the price of a modern frigate, built like a ferry. With place for 16 choppers and 1000 commandos.

You don't need to surrender like Washington to the French, Ibigmang. Just to admit you're owned.

No no, you have it backwards. It was Paris that surrendered to Washington.


"I accept your surrender. Can you do any tricks?"

Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, 'the greatest,' but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.

Rings a bell?

Right on it MadPoet. And which countries don't shred a word about nationals being ransomed ? So far, only French takes military actions.

you're willing to sacrifice another "ship" to the pirates?

how very fnerch of you.

the somali's would capture this frog ferry and send your froggy commandos to davy jones' locker.

Of course, if France gets it's wish and Barack Hussein is elected....he may intervene to protect the soi disant "Somali Youth Coastguard" from you "evil white imperialists". Thier propaganda does seem designed to appeal to people like him. What we should be doing is send a couple Gator Freighers and thier escorts down there to help you out and cover more ground.

for the moment, the scum warned French. Because there is no reason to warn USA.



Isn't it Bill?

Once again, democratic leadership didn't have the balls to see through what the troops had done. Osama bin Laden has stated that when Clinton pulled our troops out of Somalia, he became convinced that America could be attacked without serious consequences. So he bombed two American embassies in Africa and attacked the USS Cole. After attacking the World Trade Centers once, he even thought he could pull off 9/11 and get away with it. Thanks, "it's a police matter" President Clinton, you fuck head.

While the conservative leadership led to the arrest of Ben Laden, and the crushing of Talibans.

If I don't believe this fairy tale, will you tell me another one?

Conservative leadership won 2 wars. Arresting a single person would be French idea of fighting wars. Taliban? The war is with Al-QAEDA, and they are getting slaughtered in Iraq instead of plotting terror attacks against US in Hamburg or Paris. Youa re not very bright, With Open Ass
