In separate comments, Al Shabaab spokesman Muktar Robow “Abu Mansur” and Ras Kamboni Brigade leader Sheikh Hassan Abdullahi “Turki” have hailed ship-hijackings by Somali pirates.

How odd. Wasn't it one of the claims of these Somali Islamists that they were getting rid of piracy? Or was it because the pirates weren't giving them their cut?
We need to occupy Somalia's coastline and control it.
