The oceans and inland waterways surrounding the African |
|
Continent are major maritime gateways of global |
|
commercial trade. This important sea route enables |
|
vessels of all types to sail from the Mediterranean Sea |
|
via the Suez Canal, Red Sea, and Gulf of Aden to the |
|
Indian Ocean. In recent years, maritime piracy has |
|
reemerged as a serious global security threat to the U.S. |
|
and International Community. In addition to adversely |
|
impacting global trade, it continues to disrupt economic |
|
development and humanitarian aid in the Horn of Africa. |
|
The United States and international partners have |
|
responded slowly to the security challenges of piracy. |
|
This paper will examines the emergence of piracy, impacts |
|
and challenges of piracy before reviewing and accessing |
|
current U.S. and UN strategies. The paper will conclude |
|
that senior leaders must rethink current strategies and |
|
move toward land based solutions to combat piracy in |
|
Somalia, including addressing the economic, security, |
|
social, and political issues on the mainland. |
