The French navy fregate Nivose, taking part in the EU NAVFOR Atalanta mission, earlier this month stopped two vessels off the Somali coast in the Gulf of Aden and arrested their crew members under suspicion of piracy. This video footage was made available to broadcasters via the Council of the European Union.
It’s not clear what happened to the pirates filmed in this particular video. It’s likely there were taken to the Kenyan port of Mombasa. Pirates have been released on several instances because there is unclarity over where to put them on trial. Kenya, which already holds more than 100 suspected pirates in custody, has been complaining about having to share an “unfair” part of the burden.

No mention here of the French stopping EU ships from dumping nuclear waste in Somali waters. No mention of Spanish trawlers decimating local fish stocks or emptying their tanks at sea….
Google “You are being lied to about pirates” for the full story.

Hi my friend.

I presume they had to be pirates, if there was a legitimate military shooting at them. I am guessing they don’t just rove around shooting up fishing boats.

A Bravo Zulu to our French allies.
I note this is some confusion as to what should be done to captured pirates. Rather than dumping them in Kenya, I would suggest an international court and long prison sentences. Even trials in the capturing nations’ own court are preferable to leaving them in Kenya where they cause difficulties for the government and face likely release.
