Somalian Pirates-- A Great Hurdle For World Economics And Trade

  The profession of fishing is too old, they are the hard working people who tear the sea and catch fishes.  More than 20 years ago the fishemen of Somalia used to pass their day and nights this way. The poisonous clouds of ongoing civil war had not started yet raining on the sea. However, However, the second civil war between 2006-2009, that destroyed the economy of the country bestowed the vast sea with the menace of piracy.
   The reasons of sea Piracy:---
    After the regime of the former dictator of Somalia Siad Barre's president-ship, when civil war started in the country, the deparment of monitoring sea borders, the coast guard institution was also destroyed along with other institutions. With the result the 200 nautical miles (370 km) sea border was unsafe and the modern foreign trailers present within this sea border started fishing illegally.Mutinational trading institutions started throwing poisonous materials in the Somalian sea borders. Regarding this fact the Arabian telecasting channel Aljazeera disclosed in 2008 that the industrial countries of  Europe spend only $ 2.5 per ton on disposing off the chemical wastes and other industrial poisonous material in the Somalian sea, whereas if this is done in European countries after processing the wastes will cost $ 1000 per ton. When the the marine lives and specially the fishes started dying due to the poisonous material, the fishermen of Somalia had to face famine and could not find some thing to sell or eat, the country which was already face the challenge of civil war. Therfore, the hungry fishemen started robberies in the sea that gave birth to organized pirate groups. BUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING THE PEACEFUL FISHERMEN INTO SEA PIRATES?..   .
