that occurred in Pakistan and India have very unique episode, but also a sign of a strong and growing malaise among the families of seamen held hostage by Somali pirates. On March 1 last year, the family of four Pakistani seamen, detained in Somalia, held hostage by Somali pirates have staged a
ion manifestations of protest in front of the 'Karachi Press Club' in Karachi. The protesters, who showed signs and photos of family members held hostage by Somali pirates, chanted slogans against the Pakistani government so far has done nothing to secure the release of the four Pakistani nationals detained in Somalia. These were the families of Syed Wasi Hassan, Ali Rehman, Muhammad Alam and Syed Muzammil. This is part of the crew of the merchant 'MV Suez' flying the Panamanian flag and owned by a shipping company Egyptian Red Sea Navigation Co. The cargo was captured on August 2, 2010 nel Golfo di Aden mentre era in navigazione dal Pakistan al porto di Massawa in Eritrea con un carico di sacchi di cemento. Da allora son trascorsi sette mesi ed ogni giorno che passa in più, le famiglie sono sempre di più preoccupate per l’incolumità dei loro cari a bordo della nave catturata. Nel settembre del 2008 la stessa compagnia egiziana aveva dovuto già versare nelle casse dei pirati somali un riscatto di 1,5 milioni di dollari per il rilascio della MV Mansourah e del suo equipaggio. Alla manifestazione del primo marzo a Karachi hanno preso parte anche i figli del capitano Syed Wasi Hassan comandante della MV Suez. I bambini tenevano stretto nelle mani la foto del loro papà in divisa da ufficiale della marina mercantile pachistana. Secondo quanto revealed by the Indian newspaper 'Times of India' seamen were in critical condition due to lack of food, receiving only a handful of boiled rice a day, and continued sailing. The cargo would be moved continuously along the Somali coast of Puntland. Until December 12 last was anchored off the coast of Danaan Ceel, but the last reporting, dating back to Jan. 1 last, shows the new ship at sea. The pirates who hold them hostage along with the ship, after initially demanded a ransom of five million dollars last February 28 have indicated that they 'make do' for their release of $ 2.4 million. On board there were 22 merchant seamen, 6 Indians, four Pakistanis, one Sinhalese and 11 Egyptians. The gang of Somali sea that holds them in front of the refusal to deal with the company owning the ship was then decided to release selectively. In that it has released most hostages and now retains only the four Pakistanis and six Indians. Even of these you know the names. It t
rat NK Sharma, Satnam Singh, Parshad Chohan, Sachin Padoran, John Rose Bisco and Ravinder Singh. Even their family members staged a protest outside the offices of the Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in India in hopes of getting any guarantee from their government for the release of their loved ones hostage by sea pirates from Somalia. They also met with representatives the shipping company of the Suez without MV, get any positive response because the ship owner has refused to pay the ransom to Somali pirates. To obtain the ten seamen, according to the Indian newspaper is mediating the former Federal Minister for Human Rights and President of ANSA Burney Trust International, Ansar Burney. The former UN diplomat noted that the pirates are very poor families of the hostages and asked them to further reduce their ransom demand. For their part, have indicated the kidnappers want a million dollars now, to be paid to an offshore bank, the Malysia Islam Berhad Labuan in New York, and then, within three weeks at most, the balance imponendo al tempo stesso un ultimatum di cinque giorni di tempo per pagare o avrebbero ucciso gli ostaggi. Di recente Burney si è espresso in maniera critica e di condanna per l'atteggiamento tenuto dai governi federali dei dieci marittimi, India e Pakistan. Finora nessuno dei due governi si è mosso per aiutare i familiari dei marittimi ostaggi dei pirati somali mettendo a disposizione fondi per pagare il riscatto o ha adottato misure efficaci che consentano di farli liberare. La pirateria marittima è cresciuta di molto negli ultimi anni al largo della Somalia favorita soprattutto dal fatto che il Paese africano è dilaniato dalla guerra civile e che si trova nei pressi di una delle rotte marittime più importanti del mondo, quella che collega l’Oriente West. Here you gang lord it and capture sea cargo and men holding them hostage until they receive a ransom for their release. A ransom is paid by the government of the country of origin of the sea or from the shipping company owning the ship. In 2010, the hostages kidnapped by Somali pirates have reached the record number of 1181 seafarers. According Ecoterra Somali pirates currently hold hostage at least 50 ships and at least 700 seamen of different nationalities including Europeans. It is 6-type bulk carrier vessels, in all 123 seamen, 8 small wooden ships, 40 Maritime, a ship for transporting liquefied gas, 17 seamen, 2 Yacht, is a South African SY CHOIZIL SY NG and the other is the Danish Maritime 9, 14 vessels, 158 seamen, 4 oil tankers including Italian Caylyn Savina, 102 seamen, 12 cargo ships, 226 seamen, three different ships, 73 seamen, and a tugboat. A tally of ships and men ever recorded in the last seven years. Hostages held by Somali pirates as long as someone does not pay a ransom for their release. The conditions under which these men are kept are appalling, and moreover, they are subject to every kind of abuse both physical and psychological. Some of these hostages are in the hands of the pirates even more than a year. These are the six maritime Yemeni nationality crew of M
V Socotra one captured in the Gulf of Aden on December 25 2009. What is most perplexing is that in all of this in spite of all this is that the navies of 25 countries have sent in their warships from the waters to patrol the sea in the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean. One effort, what the international community, the cost of several million dollars a year that does not seem to produce the desired results at least from the perspective of the fight against maritime piracy. A demonstration is the fact that Somali pirates are becoming more the masters of the sea off the coast of Somalia as it is still undisturbed in their criminal activities on the length and breadth of the Indian Ocean and Horn of Africa in the sea. In fact now, in attackers refer also to more violent tactics, including through the use of hostages as human shields to defend against military blitz. Arremba the number of vessels by Somali pirates in the first two months of 2011 has already surpassed the same period last year. A growing trend that raises fears that that of 2010, already 10 percent higher than in 2009, will further grow.
