A year and a half ago, soldiers from the neighboring Ethiopia invaded Somalia to overthrow those who governed at that time, who wanted to establish a regime similar to Taliban’s in Afghanistan.

Somalia is a country with no law. We can even say Somalia does not exist. As a consequence of a civil war, which lasts almost 20 years, Somalia is divided into three areas. Each one has each own government and militias. In the north, next to Djibouti, and in front of Yemen coasts, there is the area known as Somaliland.

Next to it, in the cape that forms the so-called Horn of Africa, there is another bogus state, called Puntland. Neither Somaliland, nor Puntland have any international reconnaissance. In the south, until Kenya’s border, there is what we called Somalia, but it is not either a stable area.

A year and a half ago, soldiers from neighboring Ethiopia invaded Somalia and they reached the capital, Mogadishu, in order to overthrow those who governed at that time, who wanted to establish a regime similar to Taliban’s in Afghanistan. However, that did not solve anything, because there are still many militias that fight for the power. In that context, the groups dedicated to commit kidnaps and piracy have spread, mainly in Puntland and Somaliland.

Their main victims are fishing boats and humanitarian organizations, to which they steal the equipment and kidnap people. Only thee months ago, they held for one week two Spanish and Argentinean women who worked in Doctors Without Borders. Pirates do not make politic claims and most of the cases are solved after the release is paid.
