However, the news media invariably omits some important background information. Consider, since the collapse of the Somalia government in 1991, foreign trawlers and vessels have been overfishing Somali territorial waters and at the same time dumping toxic waste, including nuclear waste, into its waters. These foreign vessels are from all of southern Europe, France, Spain, Greece, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, and Norway. Somalia has become a free-for-all coast for dumping toxic waste. Somalia complained to the United Nations and the European Union, but were ignored. Who is going to listen to a poor, unstable African country? Somalia tried to chase these fishing "pirates" away, but they returned with navy escorts. With the loss of their livelihood, many of these fishermen turned to piracy. Perhaps, the United Nations and the world should reexamine Somali complaints. (Published in fogcityjournal.com) Somali Piracy: Piracy is a deplorable act.

I wrote this first for a Netherlands-based blog, coloredopinions.blogspot.com, which I contribute to. Its creator, H. Vincent Harris, is very knowledgeable about Africa, because he does immigration work there. Today he posted this very astute piece about our Evangelical pastor Reverend Rick Warren, Rwandan President Paul Kagame, and the U.S. and European "soft spot"---the Nazi holocaust narrative, http://coloredopinions.blogspot.com/2009/04/our-softspot.html I’m so glad that a Dutch person responded.
