In continuation of the invasion and blessing of invasion in violation of Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, foreign companies are engaged in the looting of fishery and other marine resources in the territorial waters of Somalia and the Southern Red Sea.
Amid such illegal practices not different from acts of theft and banditry, rumors have repeatedly been disseminated over the past months claiming that ‘pirates have been seizing ships’ in Somali territorial waters. World media outlets have also been disseminating this rumor as it is without verifying its credibility and raising the basic questions of “from where did these so-called seized ships come from?” and “for what purpose are they in the territorial waters of sovereign states?”This campaign is designed to cover up these naked acts of looting and gross violation of international laws being committed in the territorial waters of Somalia and the Southern Red Sea through violating the sovereignty of countries on the one hand and deploying military force under the pretext of “combating piracy” so as to ensure exploitation on the other. And as such, the Government of Eritrea strongly opposes and condemns this practice, and calls on the international community to fulfill its legal obligation.

Letter dated Nov. 30'07 from the Legal Adviser to the President of Eritrea to the president of the UNSC
From `legal nonsense´ to `legal fiction´.

With effect from midnight tonight (30.11.2007), the demarcation of Ethio-Eritrean boundary will be as complete as any demarcated interstate boundary would be, if not better defined.
