Chain Reactions at sea

I have met several seamen back home three years ago. I hope, if they are still seamen, they are not those who have been kidnapped by the pirates. Even after naval forces try to help securing the vast Gulf of Aden, often they still manage to hi-jack ships. The situation sparks cordon of navy vessels, maybe several different country navy vessels. It allowed now the presence of foreign military ships because of the situation. In a way it strengthens security in the Gulf of Aden. In a way also, it shows that there is no solution yet to avoid being hijacked. For those who are hi-jacking, like the Teen Somali pirate who is now being tried in the US, he will be put to jail. He will be punished. But the roots of that crime is not resolved yet. We'll just have to see what’s next to being done to help Somali’s......
