40 Yemeni pirates captured by Galmudug Marine Forces in Hobyo waters

[Lord Flacko]

Galmudug marine forces arrested Yemeni fishing boat with 40 sailors illegally fishing in Galmudug shores.

In an interview with VOA Somali Service, Deputy commander of Galmudug marine forces Abdirashid Mohamed Ahmed said the boat was seized following brief gunfight between the marine forces and armed guards on the boat.

A Somali national was among the detainees on the boat, the rest are Yemenis.

Two of the sailors, who sustained injuries in the gunfight, are being treated in a Hobyo hospital.

The arrests came barely days after a similar operation by Puntland marine forces saw the seizure of several Yemeni fishing boats illegally fishing in Puntland waters.

Yemenis might be easy to capture but I wonder how they handle illegal fishing boats from places like East Asia or the West who might have more firepower or money to bribe themselves if caught.

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Salute to the Marine forces
We need more operations like this to keep our waters safe.

 

[Prince Abubu]

How much do you want to bet they let them go?

 

[Hemaal]

What are they going to do with them? I hope they line up and execute them point blank!

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

What are they going to do with them? I hope they line up and execute them point blank!

Nah it would be more worthwhile if they exchange these damn pirates for
some cash. If the yemenis dont pay up, these pirates can rot in prison.

some cash.

What's there to exchange? People are dyin' because of famine in Yemen! Do this for the Somalis who they've hurt, arabs get no love from me

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Well in that case, execution is the befitting punishment for these criminals.

No I mean Galmudug Marine Forces.

Task Force 508 of NATO’s counter-piracy Operation Ocean Shield has conducted training with Somali Coast Guard personnel. The training took place off the coast of the town of Hobyo on October 12th and 13th and marks the first time Somali maritime forces have trained in their territorial waters.

Following the training activities, the Commanding Officer of HDMS ESBERN SNARE, Commander Henrik Holck Rasmussen, handed out certificates to 15 Somali Coast Guard personnel.
"The dedication and willingness to learn I have seen these two days has been outstanding,” said Commander Rasmussen. "Through years of naval presence and cooperation, the international community has contained piracy in these waters. However, in the long run the best solution is for Somali authorities to be able to suppress the maritime crime themselves. Today we have taken an important step in that direction.”
The Coast Guard trainees, hailing from the Galmudug Region on Somalia’s east coast, were trained in criminal investigation procedures, first aid, and motor engine maintenance and repair. There are a number of specialists in these fields on board ESBERN SNARE.
"We could see that the pupils came with proficiency already obtained from training with other international units,” said the manager of the two day course, Lieutenant Heino Kristensen. "We were able to build on this and heighten their skills.”
The graduation ceremony on board ESBERN SNARE was honoured by being attended by several senior members of the local authorities, including the Vice Governor of Galmudug and the Vice Mayor of Hobyo.

On Tuesday 29 September 2015, Spanish warship, ESPS Galicia, conducted maritime training with the Galmadug Coast Guard.

The training, which included both theory and practical exercises, covered the maintenance of outboard motors (OBM) and boat embarkation procedures.

ESPS Galicia’s medical team also gave demonstrations on how to treat burns, fractures and severe bleeding.

Training exercises such as this with the European Union’s regional partners help to develop a mutual understanding of maritime security and counter-piracy efforts in the region.

Put some respect on their name.
