Piracy- Another Excuse for Veiled Adventurism – Eritrean editorial

Asmara, 17 April 2009 (Somalilandpress) — The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 on the Twin Towers had set off torrents of shock and sadness from nations and peoples from all over the world, as everyone was sympathetic to the loss and grief of the American people. Many nations, in an effort to prevent such further misdemeanours and actions of terror, pledged to join the alliance to fight terrorism formed by the United States of America to contribute their parts.

However, the Bush Administration’s handling of the issue wasn’t as expected by everyone. The Bush Administration and its cronies rather used the 9-11 attacks as a pretext of further enforcing their policies, perpetuating attacks against nations that have no relationship with the terrorism issue whatsoever and labeling the term of terrorism upon anyone unwilling to comply with their views, using the issue as a pretext of rearing servant governments such as that of the TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front, core party in ruling Ethiopian coalition] regime and eventually resulting in the destabilization of world peace.

Hence, converting human induced disasters and conflicts into a profit generating schemes with the employment the doctrines such as Shock Therapy or Disaster Capitalism has been approved and widely utilized as a blessing in disguise, as it allowed the proponents of the doctrine to shape and interpret events to their own desire and gain.

These days, piracy and its consequences on the shores and seas of Somalia are becoming matters of concern and point of discussion for everyone. And hence, some entities are attempting to find some ’solutions’ for the issue of piracy, a solution that is in utter disregard of the root cause of the Somali problem.

Some adherents of the Shock Therapy doctrine are therefore trying to view the instances of piracy that are occurring at the coasts of Somalia as profit generating opportunities. It is to be remembered that there has been some incursions into the territories of Somalia, as it is recommended by the doctrines of Shock Therapy and Disaster Capitalism. It would be easy for anyone to conclude that such a choice will only lead into an ultimate demise of the system seeking to implement it, as it was in the case of the fight against ‘terrorism’.

Once again, if there’s to be a lasting solution for the Somali issue, the Somali people must be left alone to make their own choices with no foreign interference, which will eventually ensure the stability of Somalia and eventually the Horn of Africa, but anything else out of this will have dire ramifications.
