Tackle piracy off coast of Somalia --France urges
(SomaliNet) France has circulated a draft resolution at the United Nations Security Council calling for a coordinated, international response to tackle piracy off the coast of Somalia. France says that all states interested in maritime safety should take the necessary measures to prevent pirates from hijacking ships in the area. Earlier this week pirates hijacked two more ships off the Somali coast; there are now 13 vessels being held for ransom. Posted by: Fred 2008-09-21 |
