FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
None of them set foot on Somali soil, the EU said in a statement. “We believe
this action will further increase the pressure on
[pirates], and disrupt pirates’ efforts to get out to sea to attack merchant
shipping and dhows,” said Rear Admiral Duncan Potts, operation
commander of the EU Naval Force.
“The local Somali people and fishermen – many of whom have suffered so much
because of piracy in the region – can be reassured that our focus was
on known pirate supplies and will remain so in the future.
“The EU Naval Force action against pirate supplies on the shoreline is merely
an extension of the disruption actions carried out against pirate ships at
sea”.
The raid targeted skiffs pulled up onshore close to the known pirate town of
Haradheere, on the central Somali coastline 220 miles north of Mogadishu,
the capital.
“The pirates have felt in the past that once they are on dry land, we have
to back off,” said a spokesman for the EU Naval Force, which is led by
the Royal Navy and headquartered at Northwood, Middlesex.
“Following the extension to our mandate, we are now able to deny them that
impunity on land, and this morning’s mission is a clear demonstration
that we intend to make life as difficult as we can for them on land as well
as at sea.”
Not only were the skiffs destroyed, but pirate commanders would now be forced
to change their way of working, including pulling the heavy boats further
ashore, making it difficult for them to launch swift attacks from the beach.
Further similar air strikes were already planned, the EU Naval Force spokesman
added.
Somalia’s government was told of the mission before it took place and gave it
their full support.
