The claim of Maritime Insecurity in Somalia

After the collapse of the central government of Somalia, Maritime insecurity arose when piracy broke out in this short article, the author is not going to discuss why piracy created in Somalia but the writer is arguing, currently is there maritime insecurity which can compel the world to create a new mission of ant-piracy and related crimes or extend the mandate of the existed mission in Somalia?. In Somalia, when the government devastated a lot of organized crimes happened in the water of Somalia and the world decided to fight against these crimes, though there are different people saying there are reasons behind these groups committing such kind of crimes but in here we would discuss is there the need to extend the mandate of missions going on in Somali sea like Atlanta or to create new missions preventing such these crimes?

As we aware the world especially European union getting support with UN sent troops in Somali water giving them the mandate of fighting against organized groups committed crimes in the sea like pirates, robbery and etc. but the mandate of the mission has finished while any step to build the navy was not taken but the risk of piracy has ended or reduced and any successful ship hijack was not reported the last years. Turkey and a number of countries started to help Somalia, rebuilding of armies by training but the training of Somali navy is very limited and they do not have single warship and other equipment they require to operate As clearly seen the Somalis are required to think about rebuilding their navy since they have the longest inland coastline in Africa which needs to be protected.

To sum up the world operations in the Somali ocean seem to be project furthermore the waste is dumped and we always see on the beaches barrels filled with unknown materials and illegal fishing usually occurs the sea so the only way which Somalis can overcome this serious problem is to build the navy and the coastguard who keep the wellbeing of the Somali's territorial water.

The difficulties that Somali fishermen face.

After the collapse of the central government, the country was in a state of crisis, and most of its infrastructure was destroyed. Fishermen were facing serious challenges. In general, the Somali population has historically not been a big fan of eating fish so the number of fishermen was small as the number of people who consumed it were small. The devastation has resulted in many problems for small fishermen that have affected both the economy and livelihoods of fishermen and some of these are; The problem of foreign vessels engaging in illegal fishing in our seas, as our seas are overflowing with many species of fish and seeing foreign vessels as vulnerable (no one to protect them) they began to fish even closer to the coasts and these vessels always roll the nets that the small fishers lay in the sea to trap the fish and catch, then the fishermen miss the nets as well as the fish. These vessels dump wastes into the sea, causing a lot of problems to the Marine Environment and Marine L

We gave the license for Vessels, what advantage do we have!

The government of Somalia gave fishing license to the number of chinese vessels fishing in Somali territorial sea, the biggest question that every person is asking is, what do we exchange to our fish and what prevents these ships to transgress the rules and regulations as well as the agreement, another surprising things in this issue is, standardly, when you are giving license to a fishing vessel you should do the following by keeping your interests; the gears, species and fishing area must already be clear and there should be inspector on board who gives daily report to the responsible institution even if we agree those who would monitor as Somalis?. Sometimes the vessels should Moure to the ports for taking basic things like fuel and so on from the country that gave the license, they may argue the vessels are fearing pirates and we do not have big ports, is it acceptable justification?. The fishing vessels must sometimes be puzzled to hire employees from the country giving the licen
