The Phenomenon of Piracy in Somali Waters Which Now Targets Small Ships

The phenomenon of piracy in Somali waters has become a serious problem and has attracted international attention. Known for a series of attacks on merchant and shipping vessels, piracy has had serious consequences for global trade and maritime security. Somali Piracy Its history can be traced back to the early 2000s, when Somalia experienced political chaos and government instability. These conditions create an environment that supports piracy activity, with armed groups seeing piracy as a way to gain financial gain. From that all Somali pirates have a Global Impact and International Response Piracy in Somali waters has a significant global impact. Ships transporting goods to and from Europe, Asia and the Middle East must traverse the region, increasing the risk of piracy attacks. In response to this threat, many countries and international organizations have increased patrols and security operations in these waters

According to a UN report, Somali pirates have recently shifted their targets to smaller foreign fishing boats. The UN report says it has been nearly three years since Somali pirates last successfully hijacked a large commercial vessel but they remain capable of launching another attack and have recently shifted their targets to smaller foreign fishing vessels. The report, read by the Associated Press news agency on Wednesday, said that since August 2016 no crew members of large commercial vessels had been held by Somali pirates, but 39 hostages from foreign fishing vessels were still being held. The report also found that while reported piracy incidents rose slightly to 15 in the roughly year ending October 2016, up from 12 during the previous year, that number was down sharply from the 237 reported pirate attacks when piracy peaked in 2011.

Here, too, the UN, the world security organization, has done various things, by seeing that piracy in Somali waters is a complex phenomenon and requires a comprehensive approach. With increasing international cooperation, efforts to eradicate piracy, and a focus on increasing security and stability in Somalia, it is hoped that a long-term solution can be achieved to overcome this problem by providing assistance in the form of special forces from UN members who have been victims of capture or hostage of ships held hostage. carried out by Somali pirates.

Gross profits from human trafficking with sales objects in developing countries

Poverty, unemployment and lack of opportunity force millions of people to seek a better life by moving from the place they call home. In Latin America and the Caribbean, illegal emigration is a major problem, and its coexistence with human trafficking and exploitation demonstrated the IDB’s modernization by country expert Nybia Laguarda, in a presentation at World Bank headquarters in Washington, DC. According to the United Nations, “human trafficking” is defined as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons for the purpose of exploitation.” Starting from domestic servants to forced labor, organ harvesting, prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation. Unfortunately, it’s also big business, generating US$32 billion annually worldwide. This makes human trafficking the most profitable crime after drug trafficking, according to statistics from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2006). Every year, approximately 1 to 2 million children, women and men become victims of human trafficking; while traffickers earn between $4,000 and $50,000 per trafficked person, depending on the victim’s place of origin and destination

Besides the obvious human and legal rights violations of the victims, people trafficking also has a large negative impact on the world’s economy due to the significant loss of human and social capital. In addition, Laguarda said, people trafficking hinders the educational processes and capacity development for the victims, especially children and teenagers. Plus, it negatively affects the victims’ physical and psychological health, as they are sometimes excluded from society due to the trauma of their experiences of exploitation. On a more subtle level, Laguarda also pointed out how people trafficking jeopardizes each person’s integrity and tarnishes the reputations of the countries that allow it.

Despite the shocking statistics, people trafficking is a crime that still has not captured the attention of the public or made it to the top of political agendas in the region. Very few cases even make it to the courts

Steps to Address Human Trafficking which makes developing countries increasingly subject to trafficking, Education and increasing public awareness about human trafficking can help prevent this practice. Strict laws for every perpetrator and buyer become an international reference to further deter human trafficking. Strict and effective legal enforcement can be a deterrent for human traffickers, especially the lack of The protection of victims and the addition of victims from various developing countries means that the governments of their own countries are only able to speak out against human trafficking without taking the death penalty for perpetrators, including access to health services and psychological guidance. International Cooperation: Cooperation between countries and international organizations is needed to tackle human trafficking which often involves crossing borders. It is important to continue fighting for the elimination of human trafficking through collaborative efforts and global awareness

History Causes of the Bay of Pigs Invasion

The Bay of Pigs, otherwise known as the species Myocastor coypus, is an animal native to South America that was introduced into various ecosystems around the world as a result of the skin and husbandry trade. The bay hog invasion has become a serious issue in some areas due to its ability to adapt quickly and reproduce aggressively, Bay of Pigs is the Spanish word for Bahia de Cochinos. The word cochino itself has two meanings. It could mean pig (pig), it could also mean triggerfish (a type of fish that inhabits coral reefs in the Bay of Pigs).

It turns out that it has nothing to do with the existence of pigs, this bay is simply called Pig Bay, because the word cochino has a double meaning, namely pig and triggerfish. So, now you know why this invasion is called the Bay of Pigs. Now let’s find out, what caused the Bay of Pigs incident in Cuba? What is the background to the Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba? And who were the figures involved in the Bay of Pigs Incident?

The Bay of Pigs invasion occurred on April 17 1961 and was carried out for the first time by the United States. Hey, there’s the United States? Why did America carry out the Bay of Pigs Invasion? What was the purpose of the United States invading the islands in the Bay of Pigs?According to History, the United States has various businesses that provide various needs such as sugar, tobacco, rice and coffee in Cuba. Apart from that, America also helped Cuban revolutionaries to gain independence from Spanish colonialism in 1898.

Based on this, hundreds of American-owned businesses emerged in Cuba. Therefore, America considers Cuba important to it. In order to maintain the continuity of its business in Cuba, America is building friendly relations with Cuba.America also dominated the economy in Cuba at the time, with America owning half of the sugar plantations and most of the ranches and mines.Then, there was a coup in Cuba carried out by Fulgencio Batista, a harsh and oppressive dictator, in 1952. This coup was very beneficial for America, because Batista prioritized its interests.Apart from that, this coup also caused various chaos in Cuba, such as the presidential election process stopping, poor people in Cuba becoming increasingly destitute, and the emergence of various illegal businesses in Cuba, such as drugs, gambling and prostitution with the help of the American mafia

starting with the presence of the figure Fidel Castro, the figure who succeeded in bringing down the power of Fulgencio Batista. Its emergence was supported by communist groups in Cuba which clearly had ideological differences with America. This of course caused the United States to experience a panic attack. made the United States panic, apart from being known as a figure with charisma, intellectualism and revolutionary political thinking, Fidel Castro also had an “iron fist”. He is considered successful in turning Cuba, which was previously a source of wealth for the people of the United States, into a symbol of people who reject the power of that country. The Bay of Pigs incident has an important meaning for Cuba and Fidel Castro, this is because it can strengthen Fidel Castro’s position as the communist President of Cuba

The result of this incident was that diplomatic relations between Cuba and America were severed. In fact, this relationship was broken when America prepared an invasion to overthrow Fidel Castro. The thing is, at that time America already knew that Cuba had finally established relations with its enemy country, the Soviet Union. Due to the failure of the invasion, the Soviet Union’s relations with Cuba became closer. The close relationship between the Soviet Union and Cuba also had consequences. As a result, there was a missile crisis in Cuba in 1962. Oh yes, for those who don’t know, the missile crisis in Cuba was an event when the Soviet Union and America competed against their missile power. After the invasion, America still didn’t give up, you know. Kennedy underwent another operation, called Operation Mongoose, on November 30, 1961. Knowing this, the Soviet Union threatened America. If America attacked Cuba again, the Soviet Union would declare war
