"Never forget the story of Abdiweli Abdulkadir. He was just 16 & vilified in the press as a pirate.His only crime was taking up arms and defending his seas from foreign vessels and trawlers looting Somali waters."-

After the start of Somalia’s civil war in 1991, around 700 foreign vessels began operating in the fishing grounds off the nation’s coast — taking advantage of the instability to access plentiful sources of lobster, shark, and tuna.
The result of their actions?
Devastation.

The fact that an esteemed intellectual such as PLO Lumumba is proposing a mission led by the United States as well as an indefinite United Nations Occupation of Haiti is ludicrous and shows that Haiti has very few friends even amongst Pan Africanists. Frankly i’m disgusted.
