SOMALI PIRACY

Attended a meeting at which it was mentioned that Somalis turn to piracy as 'it provides the jobs'.  Otherwise they would have been fishing in their home waters .. but for multinational companies who allow their vessels to fish off the Somali coast.

The Christian Peoples Alliance believes in the flourishing and dignity of human beings and in addressing issues that lead to impoverishment (inc. human) of other nations.  Multinationals may exercise great power but need to be called to account if working against the common good.
