Pirate in the Gulf of Aden

The following translation answer questions about the rover in the Gulf of Aden, which was translated from Arabic articles taken from the site Ameer Hizbut Tahrir, Or Shaykh Ibn Abu Khaleel Al-RISHTA.

Background

Ethiopian officials announced that Ethiopia decided to withdraw his team from Somalia at the end of this year. This statement is out in the melonjaknya rover activities in the Gulf of Aden coast of Somalia last few months, especially with the news dibajaknya Tanker-owned Saudi oil that brings no less than two million barrel crude oil. At the same time, the mass media also cite statements Abdullah Yousuf, President of the transitional Somali groups said that Al-Shabaab, or Mujahideen Youth Movement of Somalia has been controlled almost all regions of Somalia and are ready to take over Somalia's capital, Mogadishu. Ethiopian troops during this bear that many victims are forced to survive in Somalia, with the full complaint.

Some offices have also been news broadcast speech Laos conference in the Ethiopian minister of Overseas joined in the IGAD (which occurred in Addis Ababa 18 November 2008) that, "I want to emphasize that the Ethiopian troops do not want to sacrifice and shoulder the responsibility alone for life. Other people must also take an active role in giving a message to kepemimimpinan in Somalia at a critical time like this. "

Questions:

Are these signs are frustrated in the United States are allies fight for the United States in Somalia, where they are not able to survive? Is there a connection with the Djibouti agreement signed on October 26 2008? Third, if there is intervention of the state Adidaya?

Answer:

Yes indeed rover activity increased dramatically, and we recorded some important issues associated with it

1. The majority of ships that are dibajak ships with the European or owned by other countries, except the United States where none of the dibajak. Until now, ships United States can still free and thatch. On 17 November 2008, Admiral Mike Mullen, Chief of Staff U.S. Armed Forces said that the pirate groups that are trained and against military action will endanger the fate of the sanderanya.

Commander Jane Campbell, press secretary to the Fleet-5 said the U.S. Navy and the BBC on 18 November 2008 that the AL U.S. is not capable of 'where' so that the sea transportation company should have self-defense preparation each. He also said to the media Al Arabiyyah on 19 November 2008 that the AL U.S. does not intend to involve themselves because the activity rover is not a military criminal activities.

BBC site on 20 November 2008 reported the Pentagon spokesman, Jeff Morrel that the employment of the whole navy in the world will not solve the problem.

2. So far, the presence of foreign navy in the Gulf of Aden and along the coast of Somalia in large numbers, including ships from the U.S. Naval Fleet unit to-5. NATO, which last month decided to send a warship involved there. The EU on 10 November 2008 also decided to send a fleet of anti-pirate who led England to the Horn of Africa operation code Atalanta. The mission is aimed to protect the waters of the southern area of the Red Sea from pirate attacks and will be coordinated at the Northwood (base command operations), which are by Mr. Young and Phil Jones. No less than the 7 ships including warships frigat class as HMS Northumberland also participate in this mission.

Even earlier, 12-15 warship has been in these waters as part of a multinational coalition of anti-pirate. Curiously, the number of navy force is large enough that it is not able to stop the rover activities there.

3. We believe that Europe, especially France is in a hurry to respond to events of late. They urged that the UN Security Council resolution No. 1816 on 2 June 2008, which gives a mandate to foreign warships to enter Somali waters in order to prevent piracy and to attack commercial ships. This mandate lasts for 6 months and can be extended. Perancislah encourage the discharge of this resolution.

Have been reported on 16 November 2008 by the AFP that Bernard Kouchner, the French Laos spark ideas to make sea and air attacks in December to protect the area south of the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and along the coastline of Somalia from the rover.

AFP also reported statement of Mr. Young Hubert de Gaullier des Borders, a French AL in the Indian Ocean, which stressed that the piracy in the Gulf of Aden and the Sea bertransformasi Arabia has become a professional activity paramilitary organizations. Germany also called conducting military operations in the pirate area. Then, on 20 November 2008 agreed to UNSC resolution for the sake of Europe initiated with the English. This resolution also urged to give sanctions to anyone who gives assistance action against the spread of violence that occurred in the territorial area of Somalia, including action piracy at sea.

4. On 18 November 2008, Al-Jazeera reported that Shaykh Sharif Ahmed, Chairman of the Alliance of Return Somalia (ARS) branch of Djibouti said that he was surprised to observe high piracy action, when in the area is filled with many ships of war Adidaya state. According to Shaykh 'mystery' this can not be understood.

In the same day, Al-Jazeera in the program 'Meet Today', the words of Shaykh Omar Iman Abu Bakr, Chairman of the Asmara ARS branch action that piracy is actually RADIO United States. He said that it is known that the U.S. public has many warships in the area off the coast of Somalia, and 'let' the occurrence of piracy occurs under control. In fact, the hijacker trained by the U.S. and they hijack ships carrying goods to Somalia and other places of the U.S. itself.

5. From all these facts we can gather as follows:

First, the U.S. failed to achieve victory in Somalia. U.S. troops failed in the total invasinya to Somalia in the year 1933. They were not able to survive more than 18 months before returning to the country with a dishonorable. Ethiopia kni fight for the interests of the U.S. in Somalia, and he also thought to hengkang also. So the likelihood is small that the U.S. will achieve victory in Somalia in the near future.

Since the failure in Somalia experience, the U.S. decided to take diplomatic channels with the underhand negotiations. U.S. seeks establish harmony between the government and Abdullah Yousuf Islamic Courts Council. Although successfully confront the U.S. branch of the Islamic Djibouti with Abdullah Yousuf in the agreement dated 26 October 2008, peace is still difficult to achieve because of resistance from the al Shabaab group. Al Shabaab control the majority region of Somalia, and as recognized by Abdullah Yousuf, Al Shabaab is prepared to conquer the capital of Somalia itself. Have known that the Al-Shabaab have to separate themselves from the Council of Islamic Courts (branch Djibouti and Asmara) after the Council signed the agreement in September 2007. Al Shabaab accuse the two branches of the Board has berkoalisi with a secular nation, and leave the jihad in the way of GOD. So, pupuslah U.S. hopes to win both the Somali military and political.

Recognizing this defeat, the U.S. decided to control this area through the sea. Make the U.S. coast of Somalia and the Gulf of Aden as a center of international piracy of ships, especially ships of Europe, so it will drag Europe to solve this problem. According to the U.S., European nightmare (with terbajaknya ships them) will help the U.S. in control of Somalia by sea and land gradually take control of Somalia again. Thus, the sequence of piracy RADIO U.S. ship is to meddle in the creative regional politics in the Middle East.

U.S. also hopes to control the Chapter el-Mandeb in the Gulf of Aden from the two sides, namely Yemen and Djibouti, which ultimately can return control of Somalia. By creating incidents of piracy, the U.S. will encourage discharge from European waters in the area of Somalia to the Red Sea area is so dominated by the U.S.. Please note that this sensitive area of strategic and economically important because a third of crude oil and ten percent of the traffic world trade commodities transported by boat across the sea this point.

Second, the U.S. attitude towards the issue of piracy is the bomb, with different European has experienced many losses. U.S. considers piracy as a criminal action and not as terror action that requires military intervention. According to the U.S. military operation against the rover is not effective and even when the entire country is united, Hobbes will not stop piracy sea.

U.S. attitudes such as these also affect bonekanya in this area. 5 meeting in the Arab countries that have territorial sea in Cairo on 20 November 2008, Egypt tried to make komunike that essentially called for respect the land and sea territories of Somalia berlangsungya during the military operation against piracy. This is contrary to the attitude of France, which supports military operations without the limited international and coastal line. This is the attitude that the U.S. conflict with Europe in the face of piracy. PM of France, Sarkozy said that piracy is a criminal act that must be eradicated by a comprehensive military operation.

Third, the U.S. does not close eyes to Djibouti and continue to strive to maintain itself there. However, France considers that owns Djibouti is strategically located because in this area and acts as the largest French military base outside of France, which has around 2,700 troops, who are ready to be sent kemanapun in the heart of Africa to protect the interests and influence of France.

French aware of U.S. plans to Djibouti and allow the U.S. to use the old barracks, where it owns Camp Lemonier place about 1000 U.S. troops there. With this attitude, France hopes to limit the U.S. desire to control the Djibouti. However, the U.S. has other plans. U.S. will increase the number of troops to 2000 personnel with the plea against terrorism, the same reason when the U.S. first requested permission to use the French one of the base militernya.

Daily Asharq Al-Awsat on 28 Oktoer 2008, the words of Minister of Defense of France that the U.S. use base France to fight terrorism and will not be there forever. He also stressed that the presence Perancislah that will last a lifetime, not the U.S.. This mengimplikasikan the French reluctance to withdraw the U.S. still seeks to control Djibouti. Meksipun Menhan France have expressed indirectly, a senior French officer in the same newspaper said that the U.S. is willing to remain permanently in Africa by putting his team in Djibouti and in conflict-prone places such as Yemen, Somalia, and even Sudan.

Also part of the Agenda is to make the U.S. a permanent military base in Aden such as English, so the U.S. can conduct operations in Yemen. That is why Yemen is not like the development of late. On 18 November 2008, Yemen reported Dr. Abu Bakr al Qirbi, Yemen, Laos, which feared the presence of foreign navy fleet in the Gulf of Aden with a plea against terror. Laos Yemen considers action shipping fleet of navy by the West is a form of threat to Arab security and business menginternasionalkan to the Red Sea.

Is part of the U.S. plan to Djibouti and Aden that the U.S. begin 'menterror' ships of Europe so that Europe will be involved in problem solving and slowly pushing out of Europe or diminish their presence from the area.

But this case rover related by two points, namely the internal situation of Somalia, and the Bay of Aden and the Somali coastline. Please note that the U.S. leave the incidence of piracy, although the strength of the U.S. navy there, because the U.S. focus efforts to control African Horn. At the same time Europe is to secure the interests of the threat of piracy, albeit with the need of military force.

Our conclusion that the high piracy is not another RADIO U.S. itself.

Finally, it is very painful that the Red Sea coast of Somalia and the arena of struggle kufar kolonialis while Muslim countries are suffering. At the same time, the rulers of Muslim countries in the area of the Red Sea and Somalia, even he comes with the blood of Muslim citizens and a puppet countries kuffar in their competition to control the land, ocean, air and land Muslim.
