    Default The world gears against Somali pirates while West Africa's waters simmer

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7901152.stm

    Why the reluctance to deal with them? Why is everyone showing off their guns in Somali waters but hesitant to deal with this issue in W. Africa? Why not support the government of Nigeria to deal with this issue?

    Because it is a less important trading route.

    Too bad there is something called Suez that shorten the distance between West and East.

    The UN made it so the ridiculous Somali government would have to authorise all operations.
