Somali ‘Pirates’ want to send loot confiscated from rich countries to Haiti

Agencia Matriz del Sur

January 21, 2010 – Spokesmen for the so-called “Somali pirates” have expressed
willingness to transfer part of their loot captured from transnational boats
and send it to Haiti.

Leaders of these groups have declared they have links in various places around
the world to help them ensure the delivery of aid without being detected by
the armed forces of enemy governments.

The “pirates” typically redistribute a significant portion of their profits
among relatives and the local population. In their operations, the “pirates”
urge transnational corporations that own the cargo confiscated to pay back in
cash as banks can not operate in Somalia.

”The humanitarian aid to Haiti can not be controlled by the United States and
European countries; they have no moral authority to do so. They are the ones
pirating mankind for many years,” said the Somali spokesman.
Somalia, located at the eastern end of the Somalia Penisula adjacent to the
Gulf of Aden to the North and with the Indian ocean to the east, is located in
a very important position in the communication routes between Asia, Africa and
Europe and the Pacific.
