Congratulations to the French naval ship Nivose which, with the support of an Italian ship and Spanish aircraft, has succeeded in capturing 35 suspected pirates off the coast of Somali. Four ‘mother’ ships and six small boats used by the pirates were seized in the operation.
Pirates in the area of the Gulf of Aden have become more and more adventurous and have extended their activities south towards the Seychelles and even further towards Madagascar.
Piracy has got out of control in the area and the mission of the international community to eliminate them is beginning to show dividends. But, in the end, the only way to put a stop to the pirates is for a combined force to go into Somali and eliminate them and their equipment altogether. For too long have ships of all nationalities been held to ransom.
We should also not forget that Mr and Mrs Chandler who were kidnapped by pirates last October are still languishing somewhere in that lawless country in which no-one seems to have any proper authority or control.
