I would agree with you Wiggy. If it was pre2008. But, now there is an international naval patrol in the gulf of Aden. This has reduced the piracy there dramaticaly. Im talking about more recent acts of piracy, which are off Somalias east coast (Indian Ocean), there realy is no need for ships the get that close to somalia, unless they are delivering aid. But even those ships have military escorts now. When I read of post 2008 piracy acts. It makes me wonder why was the ship there, and why it wasn't being escorted. That British couple who got kidnapped. Well, they were just fuckiing stupid.

concrete i put this in another of ya threads as i to see this area as a hotspot i wrote this quote[Somalia is a gateway to the red sea,what better place to have conflict] china has a huge oil depot up the red sea i also put this up mate quote[Sudan Additionally, China has implemented a powerful “oil for guns” programme with Sudan. With the exception of Russia, this country has become China’s largest overseas oil investment. CNPC owns 40% of the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company, a consortium that dominates Sudan’s oil fields. CNPC has invested more than US$8B in the Sudanese oil sector, including funding for new oil pipelines. Another Chinese company, Sinopec is constructing a 1,500 km pipeline to Port Sudan on the Red Sea. China is also building a new tanker terminal at this port possibly to handle very large crude carrier (VLCC) tankers. Sudan now supplies China with 10% of its total oil imports. criticalbelievers.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rs&action=display&thread=3372&page=1Yemen /Somalia/Sudan all conflict hot spots in my opinion so i agree that Africa could escalate
