Last week, a ship known as MV Suez, was freed from the Somalian Pirates after 10 months. Around 21 people were fugitive of these pirates in the Mediterranean. All the fugitives had lost their hope in their governments as the pirates had demanded a ransom amount of $2.1 million and no one thought they should spend some of their leisure money on these poor fellow earthlings. 21 people and $2.1 million, a hundred thousand dollar for each person, but no one was willing to pay for them, not any NGOs either.
But suddenly, out of the blue, a country considered to be harvesting terrorists, giving a hideout for Osama, stood up to save these poor human beings from the agony. The rescue was a combined effort of a welfare organization, the government of Sindh and Pakistan Navy. The Welfare organization 'Ansar Burney Trust' gathered $2.1 million in 10 days and freed the fugitives, what should have been done 10 months ago by any government of the world, Indian, Egypt or considerably US or UK, the Pioneers of Humanity. But, it was done by the government that had just suffered a Rs. 6 billion loss on 22nd of May, 2011 and is spending a lot fighting terrorism as well.
But look at the Irony. The countries that asks the Pakistani Government to do more against terrorism is fighting against just one dictator in Libya. Rather than going against these pirates for killing and robbing people on ships, which is, in simple words an Open Act of Terrorism, who still have more than 20 ships captured and are due for the ransom, they opt to spend billions of dollars, fighting off one man in one country. Instead of bombing these pirates in open sea, they think its better to bomb a city with innocent civilians in it. Recently 9 innocent civilians by the air assualt on Libya.
All we can do or should do is to request the officials of these governments to look upon this pirates problem and try to completely obliterate these Terrorists of the face of the sea and do something about these 20 above ships that are still under the control of these pirates. It wont even kill a single civilian and for once the world might be united for one cause.
