Chapter 10 Chapter 09 Look at how modern European and American imperialists plundered Africa: The real reason for Somali piracy
Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism
...includes among them the following five essential features of imperialism: (1) the concentration of production and capital developed to such a degree that monopoly organizations play a decisive role in economic life; (2) banking capital and industrial Capital has merged, forming a financial oligarchy on the basis of this "financial capital"; (3) capital export, which is different from commodity export, is of special importance; (4) an international monopoly alliance of capitalists to carve up the world has been formed; (5) ) The largest capitalist power has divided up the territory of the world. (Lenin: "Imperialism is the Highest Stage of Capitalism" People's Publishing House, April 2001, 3rd Edition, p. 78)
Pirates are rampant, triggering global deep thinking.
Please think about it, why did Somali pirates become pirates?
Black Hawk Down, Who Changed Somalia?
An American force was at war with the Somalis, and the entire capital of Somalia was mobilized to attack the Americans.
Why is the piracy problem not rooted in the ocean?
Polls in Somalia have found that more than 70 percent of coastal residents support their actions.Why?
Obama gained international prominence in the first half of 2009 when he sent US Marines to rescue the captain of an American steamship captured by Somali pirates.After the news was broadcast around the world, the United States showed its demeanor as a big and powerful country to the fullest, and the whole world applauded for it.At the same time, the whole world, including the United Nations, unanimously condemned the bad behavior of Somali pirates. Many Western media reports described Somali pirates as heinous.In the second half of 2009, the hijacking of a ship of China Ocean Shipping Company made the Somali pirate incident attract more attention in China.
Somali pirates have kidnapped countless ships and made a lot of money, probably close to $200 million so far.For Somalis, this is definitely a "high-tech" industry. The increase in the number of employees from 100 to 1,000 is a very good thing for them.So, what is the truth?When you see that the whole world is condemning Somali pirates, and the moment you see the majestic US military killing Somali pirates with a few shots, readers, please think about it, why do Somali pirates become pirates?Why did they get to where they are today?
On October 19, 2009, the Chinese cargo ship "De Xin Hai" with 25 crew members was hijacked by pirates in the Indian Ocean.A member of the Somali pirate gang said that Somali pirates hijacked the cargo ship.The robbed freighter belongs to Qingdao Ocean Shipping Company.The general duty office of the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center received a report from Qingdao Ocean Shipping Company that the freighter was on its way from South Africa to India, 320 nautical miles (592 kilometers) northeast of Seychelles and 980 nautical miles (1815 kilometers) east-south of Mogadishu. ) in the Indian Ocean at , reported to the company the boarding of armed pirates and subsequently lost contact.On December 16, 2008, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei made a speech at the ministerial meeting of the Security Council on Somali piracy, saying that in 2008 alone, 6 Chinese or Chinese-chartered ships were hijacked by pirates in Somali waters.So far, 1 ship and 17 Chinese citizens have not been released.
African people are very nice.I say this because of my own experience.When I was a student at Wharton, I had a classmate in my class who was an African chief named Mathias Chikaonda.The entire south-central Africa belongs to the Zulu tribe, and the Zulu tribe has eight tribes, so there are eight chiefs. He is the chief of one of the tribes, and his territory is in the Republic of Malawi today.They are very kind people, these people have been living a life of peace and leisure on the African continent. My classmate told me that they often go hunting and farming.I said, what if you encounter a beast?He said that they have ways to deal with it. For example, if an elephant comes to catch you, you have to go at a right angle, because elephants can't turn at a right angle, and elephants always like to go around in circles.Because they are afraid of encountering leopards, every time they go out, they will wrap their necks with animal skins to prevent their throats from being bitten by leopards.He said that his own uncle had met a leopard before, and he fought with the leopard until the sky was dark. Because the uncle had an animal skin wrapped around his neck, although he was seriously injured, he returned safely.Jackals are usually fine, as jackals won't attack taller animals.What if a child encounters a jackal?He said that he would immediately find a piece of wood and put it on top of his head. As long as he was taller than the jackal, the jackal would not dare to attack you. Somalia is located on the Somali Peninsula at the easternmost tip of the African continent, bordering the Gulf of Aden to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east.According to statistics, about 18,000 ships pass through the Suez Canal every year, most of which pass through the Gulf of Aden.30% of the world's oil transportation also passes through here. 600 years ago, Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty landed in Somalia on his fifth voyage, and there is still a place called "Zheng He Village" in Somalia today.However, the waters around Somalia, which used to convey friendship, once again entered our field of vision, but it was because of rampant pirates.According to statistics from the International Maritime Bureau, 111 of the 293 incidents of piracy or armed robbery at sea occurred in Somali waters in 2008, twice as many as in 2007.The waters off Somalia have become one of the most dangerous in the world.So, what kind of place is Somalia, and what kind of people are Somali pirates?
I asked him what to do if he encountered a lion, and he said that he would just wait to be eaten. There was no way, the lion was too powerful, so the lion became the worship god of the Zulu people.What's more interesting is that each chief of the Zulu tribe has a scepter.At the top of the scepter is a bird's nest woven of lion's fur, with a lion's "dulu" inside.I curiously asked him what is Dulu, and he said that the reason why lions are scary is that there is a cartilage-like tissue near its throat called Dulu, which is about half the length of a finger, and Dulu is what makes all things fear lions.It is very difficult to obtain this Dulu. The wizard must lead the tribe to kill the lion with his own hands. The moment before the lion dies, it will spit out the Dulu, and the wizard will carefully search for the Dulu near the lion's body.He said that when he held the scepter with Dulu on it, he was surprised to find that all his people looked at him in horror, just like they saw a lion, which was really amazing. I have been with this classmate for several years, and I have learned a lot from him.The habits of Africans are completely different from ours.For example, I asked him, do you like this dish?He said that I like it very much, but at the same time made a gesture of shaking his head.Africans have a completely different culture from ours, but they are very kind people.After my classmate graduated from Wharton Business School, he returned to the Republic of Malawi to prepare to become the president. His first job was the president of the Central Bank of Malawi, and his next job was to be the president of Malawi.Because there are very few people with such a high degree of education in Africa, this is the chiefdom system in Africa. Somalia has five tribes, so their flag pattern is a five-pointed star.They have also been living a life of indifference to the world, and have a very long history. Like our China, they are all ancient cultural countries.In the first century AD, they had a port, and at that time they began to conduct maritime trade with Rome and Greece.At that time we did not have maritime trade, we were a purely continental country.In the seventh century AD, a large number of Arab businessmen poured into Somalia. When the Somalis traded with the Arabs, they found that the Arabs were very moral and the transactions were very fair, and they never lied to them.Somalis believe that this is because Arabs believe in Islam, so they have very noble moral sentiments.So from the seventh century onwards, Somalia accepted Islam. After the 12th and 13th centuries, city-states began to form, and the situation at that time was similar to our Warring States period.In the 15th century, Zheng He arrived at their capital during his fifth voyage to the West. It was called Mugudushu at that time, and it is called Mogadishu today. It is an ancient city with a long history. Among the least developed countries in the world according to United Nations statistics, Somalia ranks the last with a per capita GDP of less than 150 US dollars. According to incomplete statistics from international rescue organizations, among the more than 9 million people in Somalia, the number of people currently in need of assistance exceeds 3.2 million, accounting for 1/3 of the country's population.From the descriptions of the people of this country in the past, we can easily see that the residents here are polite and courteous, pay attention to politeness in speech and behavior, pay attention to etiquette in social interactions, and have strong national feelings.In social situations, Somalis are very particular about their attire, they are punctual in appointments, and they are hospitable... Then, how did such a group of people who pursue etiquette and morality become so impoverished, and why some of them ran amok at sea, openly What about the marauding pirates?
By the 19th century, the Somali nightmare had begun. In 1887, northern Somalia was occupied by the British and became British Somalia. In 1925, southern Somalia was occupied by Italy and became Italian Somalia.It was not until 1960 that Britain and Italy withdrew from Somalia and Somalia became the Republic of Somalia.But this was the beginning of the disaster in Somalia. After Britain and Italy left, they still supported their agents locally, with the purpose of plundering Somalia's wealth.As a result, Somalia was poor and white, with famine year after year.I believe readers can understand why Somalis hate Europeans and Americans so much after reading this. By the 1960s discontent in Somalia was running high, as Britain and Italy drew borders at will as they withdrew.There are two neighboring countries around Somalia - Ethiopia and Kenya. Ethiopia has a territory that originally belonged to Somalia, and Kenya also has a territory that originally belonged to Somalia.At that time, because the imperialists only occupied a small part of Somalia, they gave the rest of the territory to Ethiopia and Kenya.After Somalia became independent, it hoped to get these territories back, because they were originally theirs, but they were only divided by imperialism.To this end, from 1960 onwards, many battles were fought. In 1963, the Soviet Union at that time organized an army of 10,000 people for Somalia. In 1964, Somalia began to attack Ethiopia and was defeated. Until 1978, Somalia was completely defeated. At this time, Somalia did not listen to the big brother of the Soviet Union. , want to defect to the United States. In the 1980s, the United States began to invade Somalia. The United States invested a total of 800 million U.S. dollars in aid, and Italy invested more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in aid.The combined aid invested by these two countries is already half of Somalia’s GDP. However, due to years of wars and warlords in Somalia, corruption is rampant. When they received 1.8 billion US dollars in aid, most of the money went into private pockets.Many items aided by the United States have been sold on the black market, making life even more difficult for the Somali people.Until the end of the 1980s, when the Cold War ended, the United States began to lose interest in the Somali land. Anyway, it stopped fighting and confronted the Soviet Union. Why should it help you?Therefore, the United States withdrew, and Somalia collapsed across the board and became an anarchic country. Due to years of wars inside, the common people were in dire straits. Every dire situation you can imagine is happening in Somalia.By 1992, the United Nations sent peacekeeping troops to Somalia to maintain law and order, but it could no longer be maintained.Then in 1994, something happened.A unit of the United States fought the Somalis, and the entire capital of Somalia was dispatched to attack the Americans. The American army was defeated and the helicopter was shot down by the Somalis.The Americans are also very interesting. About that fiasco, they made no secrets and made a movie called "Black Hawk Down". After the U.S. military was defeated in this battle in 1994, President Clinton ordered the withdrawal. After 1995, the result of the complete withdrawal of foreign powers was to leave Somalia in a power vacuum.The five tribes killed each other and fought endlessly, which made the people miserable, it was a hell on earth.At this time, as the entire judicial system disintegrated, Islam was responsible for maintaining local law and order, and religious courts based on Islamic law replaced the government.This religious court not only protects the common people, prevents robbery and drug trafficking, but also undertakes education, health and other tasks.What did the Americans do at this time?Just because Americans don't like Islam, the United States even provided arms to Ethiopia in 2006, allowing them to enter Somalia to attack the army of the Union of Islamic Courts. With the support of the Americans, Ethiopia won consecutive battles and finally completely defeated the Islamic Court Union in Somalia.We can see that imperialism has never stopped humiliating this country from 1887 to 2008.The common people couldn't live any longer, so they became pirates. Before 2006, Somali waters were among the safest shipping lanes in the world. In 2006, most parts of Somalia were controlled by sectarian armed forces. They formulated strict laws, and the profession of pirates is absolutely not allowed.Any violation will be punished by the law.International Maritime Bureau officials pointed out that such regulations are very effective, "almost no incidents of pirate attacks on ships occurred throughout the summer of 2006".The intervention of the US military not only led to "Black Hawk Down", but also led to an international disaster.According to the widely circulated description, eating roast goat on board, chewing khat tea, and skillfully using locators, satellite mobile phones and AK47... This is the standard image of Somali pirates today.But few people think that the money to buy these pirate equipment was originally used by local fishermen for production and life.So, why do the local fishermen who live affluently buy arms and take risks?
Somalia has a coastline of 3,300 kilometers, rich in local fishery, and the largest fishery in Africa is here.Rich in tuna, prawns and lobsters, it is a very good piece of land.However, due to the state of anarchy in Somalia, a large number of fleets from European and American countries entered Somalia. They did two things. The first one was extinct fishing.What is extinct fishing?Usually when fishing, for example, when fishing for Alaskan crabs, according to the regulations of the United States, after the crabs are caught, they must be measured with a ruler to see if they are up to standard.The so-called sufficient standard refers to crabs that must grow up. For example, crabs with a length of more than 20 centimeters can be sent to the market, and crabs that are less than 20 centimeters must be returned to the sea to allow them to grow and reproduce, so that continuous fishing can be achieved.You can't catch all the baby crabs. If you catch all the baby crabs and the female crabs, there will be no crabs next year. Americans strictly enforce this law when fishing in their own fishing grounds, but when European and American ships enter Somalia to fish, they completely ignore this point, catch all of them, even the smallest crabs, and do not give Somali fishermen any money. chance of survival.Somali fishermen were forced to die, so they organized a self-defense force called Somali Coastal Defense Volunteers, with the purpose of driving away these fishing boats.If they cannot be driven away, they will be arrested and asked to pay a ransom to compensate for the cost of extinct fishing.Do you think Somalia did something wrong?In an era of anarchy, imperialism oppresses it so much, and extermination fishing makes Somali fishermen unable to survive. These fishermen organize coastal defense volunteers to protect their rights and drive away foreign extermination fishing fleets. What did they do wrong? ?They did nothing wrong. In fact, genocide fishing is not the most hateful thing. What is even more hateful is nuclear radiation. They dump all the waste of chemical raw materials on the beaches of Somalia. According to our data, more than 300 people died of unknown poisons in 2005.Tracing the sources of these poisons is basically European chemical factories and medical institutions, as well as former Italian colonists.The most important business run by the Italian Mafia, and the most lucrative, is the disposal of toxic materials, including nuclear waste.They are in charge of transportation, and Somalia is their dumping ground. The nuclear waste transported from the United States and Europe is dumped directly on the beaches of Somalia.This is how I see Somalia. Regarding Somalia, Xinhua News Agency once used this passage to describe it in related reports: "In the hearts of many Somalis, yesterday was dark, full of hunger, fear and the pain of losing loved ones; tomorrow is empty, without hope and The goal; the only thing to care about is today, and we must try our best to survive, even if we take risks.” In order to deal with Somali pirates, many countries have sent escort ships to Somali waters.However, the spokesperson of the US Fifth Fleet, Jane?Campbell said another intriguing sentence: "Although the arrival of warships from various countries has had a certain effect, we still have to say that naval power alone will never completely solve the problem. The problem comes from the shore."
Somalia's independent news media Wadhe News once conducted a poll on the armed hijacking of international ships at sea, and found that more than 70% of coastal residents supported their actions.Why?It’s because of what I said before, you deserve what you deserve. You have caught all our fish and shrimps and left nothing for us. We can’t survive. You also dumped all the nuclear waste on our beach, no Who will you catch?They also gave an example. During the American Revolutionary War, because the United States had no navy at that time, the pioneer of the American Revolution, George?Washington and his comrades also used piracy to keep foreign ships from trespassing their territorial waters.So the founding father of the United States, Washington, also did what the Somali pirates did, and he was also the one who took the ransom. Otherwise, how would he support the American army? Just because Washington was an American, he was regarded as a national hero, but the Somalis were killed as pirates.is this fairWashington's patriotic behavior has been praised by the American people, and so should the situation in Somalia today.This is what the Somalis themselves said.We have also suffered ruthless imperialist aggression, and now we have finally stood up.However, not every country has stood up, and Somalia, where pirates are rampant today, has not stood up.It has been invaded by imperialism since 1887, even as early as 1846, and it has not escaped the nightmare until today.
