Like the title says, it's quite interesting to see the international response to the piracy problem off the Somali coast, a problem that arose partly because of foreign trawlers stealing Somali fish from local waters, dumping toxic waste in Somali seas, and violently attacking Somali fishermen in their own waters. This threat raised enough global alarm that the following nations felt they HAD to deploy their navies along our coast:
Albania
Australia
Bahrain
Belgium
Bulgaria
Canada
China
Croatia
Cyprus
Czech Republic
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
India
Iran
Ireland
Italy
Japan
Jordan
Latvia
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Malaysia
Malta
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Pakistan
Philippines
Poland
Portugal
Republic of Korea (South Korea)
Romania
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Seychelles
Singapore
Slovakia
Slovenia
South Africa
Spain
Sri Lanka
Sweden
Thailand
Turkey
United Arab Emirates
United Kingdom
United States
Yemen
If an average of just 8–11 deaths per year off the coast of Somalia was enough to mobilize the international community (let’s also remember this same international community did nothing when reports emerged of Italy dumping nuclear waste along Somali shores, or of Iranian and Chinese fishing vessels attacking and stealing Somali fish), then surely they should move heaven and earth in response to the almost 70,000 casualties in less than two years in the Gaza conflict.
