Incredible how Somali pirates could shake big powers

Dear editor,I do not support the pirates in Somalia, but I think their behaviour in the ‘big waters’, has awakened the whole world and possibly, it may help the troubled country.

Dear editor,
I do not support the pirates in Somalia, but I think their behaviour in the ‘big waters’, has awakened the whole world and possibly, it may help the troubled country. 

Today as I write, NATO military alliance says it will send warships to help combat piracy off the coast of Somalia.

It has also agreed to send a joint task force by the end of the year. 

This is a blessing in disguise for the people of Somalia who are starving.

You know the force will also escort UN ships delivering aid to Somalia, where millions are in great need of food aid.

So you never know, the Somalis may gain a lot since security in the ‘waters’, may be felt far inside the troubled regions of the country. I wish them all the best.
