Ransoms bring wealth to Somali pirate bases
By Abdiqani Hassan Abdiqani Hassan – Sun Nov 23, 2:50 am ET Reuters
BOSASSO, Somalia (Reuters) – As dawn breaks over the Indian Ocean each morning, elders in Somali pirate bases sip strong coffee and clutch mobile phones to their ears, eager to hear the latest from the gunmen out at sea.
Have any more ships been hijacked or ransom talks concluded? Any news of the Western warships hunting them?
Last weekend's spectacular capture of a Saudi Arabian supertanker loaded with oil worth $100 million has jacked up the stakes in what is probably the only growth industry in the failed Horn of Africa state.
Massive ransoms have brought rapid development to former fishing villages that now thrive with business and boast new beachside hotels, patronized by cash-rich buccaneers who have become local celebrities virtually overnight.
Investors have been attracted from around Somalia.
"There are some 'pirates' who never shoulder a gun or go out into the ocean, but they own boats which earn them a hell of a lot of money," gang member Bashir Abdulle told Reuters by phone from Eyl, the most notorious of the pirates' strongholds.
Just three years ago, maritime security experts estimated there were just five Somali pirate groups and fewer than 100 gunmen in total. Now they think there are more than 1,200.
Some analysts trace the gangs' roots to ties forged with criminal networks across the Gulf of Aden in Yemen during years of people-smuggling operations.
Others say the buccaneers began life as a rag-tag "coast guard" formed by elders enraged by European fishing fleets illegally trawling Somali territorial waters for tuna, and even more clandestine craft dumping deadly toxic waste on its shore.
LINKS TO REBELS?
But the biggest lure now, of course, is the vast ransoms being paid for captured ships. Kenya says it thinks the pirates have received more than $150 million this year alone.
Many young men who used to work as bodyguards and militia fighters for Somalia's many warlords and feuding politicians have quit with their guns to chase the rewards available out on the waves.
And most worrying for the international community, some analysts see links between the pirates and Islamist militants who control Somalia's south and are advancing slowly on Mogadishu.
In some areas, residents say the pirates are the only ones allowed to defy night time curfews imposed by the Islamists.
For their part, militant leaders deny any connections and have vowed to attack the gang holding the Saudi supertanker in retaliation for their hijacking a "Muslim" ship.
Russia has proposed raiding the pirates' land bases such as Eyl, but the NATO alliance has said African nations must take the lead. Few in the gunmen's strongholds showed any fear.
"I know piracy isn't good, but if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be able to make a living," shrugs Kadija Duale, a mother of four in Eyl. She sells the gunmen $3 cups of tea on credit, then collects when they receive their share of ransoms.
A kilo of khat, a popular mild narcotic plant, now costs $65 in Eyl, compared with $20 elsewhere, thanks to pirate demand.
Eyl is in the semi-autonomous northern province of Puntland -- whose main port is Bosasso -- though the Saudi ship is being held further south in Haradheere port, another center of piracy.
As the profits from the crime wave draw in businessmen from around the country, residents in the pirate's coastal bases -- and some inland towns -- have seen development in recent months that is unprecedented in their anarchic nation.
Abdiqadir Yusuf Ow Muse, the Eyl chairman, said his village had existed since 1927, but had long been only a tiny fishing community. This year, he told Reuters, all that had changed.
"Now it's a district with almost all facilities you would expect, because of the convergence of rich pirates," he said.
Well not bad ..however Aliz'ee yet to evolve..

SEC to hold international session on short selling
Agency chief Cox slates teleconference with overseas counterparts
By Ronald D. Orol, MarketWatch
Last update: 12:42 p.m. EST Nov. 21, 2008Comments: 11WASHINGTON
(MarketWatch) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to host a Monday meeting with international regulators to examine whether new regulations in the U.S. and other countries seeking to stop abusive short-selling practices have been effective.
"In addressing turbulent market conditions, it is essential not only that regulators act against securities law violations, including abusive short selling, but also that there be close coordination among international markets to avoid regulatory gaps and unintended consequences," said SEC Chairman Chris Cox in a statement.
Along with a series of recent short-selling rules, the SEC requires hedge funds and other investors to report their positions confidentially to the agency on a weekly basis.
This measure is set to expire in 2009, but regulatory observers expect the next SEC chief named by President-elect Barack Obama to push for a series of new short-selling regulations.
For instance, fund managers with $100 million or more may soon be faced with a quarterly reporting requirement on short-selling positions based on the agency's existing 13F equity reporting rule.
The agency ended a temporary moratorium on short selling in roughly 800 financial stocks on Oct. 8, three weeks after extreme volatility rocked U.S. financial markets, but concerns about rumor mongering contributing to the nosedive in the price of shares of blue chip Citigroup Inc. (C:Citigroup, Inc
C 3.77, -0.94, -19.9%) led to speculation that the agency might once again reinstitute a temporary ban specific to financial companies' equities. See related story.
The effectiveness of a short-selling ban will undoubtedly be considered by participants at the conference, who include members of the International Organization of Securities Commissions. The members will discuss disclosure rules, credit-rating agencies and international accounting standards as well, according to an SEC statement.

Fewer Mexicans leaving homeland
Emigration down sharply; ailing U.S. economy, tighter border cited
MEXICO CITY - Mexican emigration has dropped 42 percent over the last two years, a government study released Thursday showed, confirming that America has become less appealing amid an economic downturn and stepped-up raids against illegal migrants.
About eight of every 1,000 Mexicans emigrated between February and May of this year, according to the survey conducted by the National Statistics and Geography Institute. That's a 42 percent drop from the same period in 2006.
In all of 2007, an estimated 814,000 Mexicans emigrated, compared to 1.2 million in 2006. The figure — which was reached through household surveys — includes all Mexicans who left the country, and did not break down legal and illegal migration.
A summary of the investigation did not delve into the reasons for the drop. But experts say America's economic troubles and tighter border security have deterred many Mexicans from risking the journey to the United States, a trip that often means long desert treks, dodging bandits and bribing corrupt police.
The vast majority of Mexican migrants go to the United States.
'No longer an American dream'
The study did not offer statistics past May 2008. But experts expect the trend to continue amid the financial crisis that rattled markets worldwide in September.
"There is no longer an American dream, at least for the moment with the economic situation," said Victor Clark, the director of the Tijuana-based Binational Center for Human Rights, which works with illegal migrants. "News of mass raids snowball through towns that send a lot of migrants. In small northern towns, the news is that there is no work for Mexicans in the United States."
There have long been indications that Mexican emigration has been falling dramatically. The U.S. Border Patrol has reported a 39 percent drop since 2005 in the capture of migrants trying to cross the frontier illegally.
And Mexicans are sending less money home, hurting Mexico's second-largest source of foreign income behind oil exports. Remittances fell 12 percent to $1.9 billion in August, the biggest drop since record-keeping began 12 years ago, according to Mexico's central bank.
The statistics are part of the broader 2006-2008 National Survey of Occupation and Employment, which studied 120,000 households.
Going back home
The study found no significant change in the number of Mexicans coming home. But the drop in emigration was so large that by the end of 2007, more Mexicans were returning home than leaving the country, the study said.
Some authorities believe Mexican will see a surge of returning migrants as the economy worsens in the United States. Mexico City's municipal government has predicted that up to 30,000 more immigrants than usual will return from the U.S. over the next few months. Other towns across Mexico are also preparing for an influx of returning migrants.
Clark said it was too early to know whether Mexicans would start leaving the United States en masse, or whether emigration rates to the U.S. would recover after the crisis.
"It's a phenomenon that is barely starting to develop," he said. "Some immigrants say they will travel farther north in the United States to find work. But others say they will come back."
That is a better plan
I read once that Iraq has approx 112 billion proven reserves and also that only 10% of the country has been surveyed.
Anyone survive the train wreck?
The last sentance of your post tells it.. & they will sell them forever if they could @.0001
Alas.. eventually we shall reverse once again.
Starting to look like Raven Moon
My bailout plan..
Our complex system as a whole is feeding the "upside down" pyramid of criminal corporate & government entities. The crooks on top are pulling the necessary legal strings and drafting the necessary legislation to preserve their own capitol resources.
This has been going on long enough.
The only way to truly bail out the mess we're in is this..
Bottom up..
Each "Working, tax paying citizen" to recieve a REAL stimulus check for $37,000 US + $11,000 for each dependant child living at home.
(sorry.. child living at college dorm for more than 9 months out of the year not elligible)
If your pre tax income for 2007 was over 150,000, you get $17,000 + $2,500 for each dependant child living at home.
If your pre tax income for 2007 was over 250,000.. you recieve -0-
If you are on welfare receiving benefits but able to work and your not working you get -0-
If you are defined as "Disabled" but living on gov't assistance, you recieve full benefit of $37,000 + $11,000 for each dependant living at at home.
All beneficiaries of my plan must be "Permanant US citizens and show valid proof that they were born in the USA or have lived in the USA for 10 years.
All applications must be filed through the local Social Security office near you. All applications must be filed by June 15th 2009..no exceptions.
All beneficiaries of this plan must have filed a 2007 US income tax return with the IRS.
If you qualify for this plan and wish to "OPT Out", simply don't apply.
in Summary..
Over time, this would cost less than our current so called bail out and revive spending and reduce debts significantly. This is a very serious stimulus package and would indeed eliminate any further prospect of deep recession.
This would cost around 12 to 13 trillion dollars (est)
Unfortunatly, income taxes would have to be increased to help offset this plan.
IMGW going green
Just for the record I had a few small orders of a large buy order that filled @ .0004 10:58 that were BUYS that were posted as sells.. obvious I cannot trust the accuracy of the system..
Further note.. Most of the stocks I'm following now in the pennies or sub penny levels are down, no one seems to be holding them for more than a short play unless they're outright diamonds..any hint of failure, dilution, management misleading numbers and they're out. Even great stocks with cash on the books are trading way down from they're true value. Too much uncertainty and ..no trust right now
That is basically how it happens on this one it seems.. I originally had an order on this in the 000's before it was active I guess. Never filled (my bid above the ask)
hmmm
