I come here after hearing the story from one of the survivors, Sudirman. It feels so heartbreaking hearing his side of the story, they went through a lot. Thank you so much to all the people who helping to settle this case 😢🙏🏻
From the Philippines, thank you for saving our countrymen and other nationalities. Knowing that you did this for Pro Bono, shows how kind hearted people you are, and to those people behind the scene for the release of these hostages.
Wow... My heart was so sad to see those poor fishermen suffering.. All they wanted was to provide for their families.. I was touched by the dedication of the rescue team and all the negotiations for the release of the crew. I was also touched by the act of human kindness, care and support John Steed had. What a legend he is.. Thank you to all concerned in this rescue. The British intelligence is the best... So glad for the safe return and hope that they are all doing well and that they can put the suffering behind them and try to get back to a more normal routine of life...
@@khalidfarah5804 my men that’s right they take everything from our cost without consent.. one of us . Come to North America they prison them . Put them on. Court for request refugees.. treat us like inhumans . NWO..
To those three British angels who worked for two years for free, may God bless you. Thank you so much for giving back the lives of my countrymen from the Philippines and all the rest of the crew to their families. You are truly heroes! ❤🙏
this happened a while ago, but it tells you what humankind is all about, thank you john and the team, you made my easter holiday with this episode, God bless you.
the two guys john is a hero they did everything thanks you so much :) you two deserve a medal or a recognition or anything they did save everyone even the fact the they didnot know them
Hey Mr.John and the rest of the heroes involved in this difficult moment, i wanted to say thank you for helping them and bringing back to thier families. Not all heroes wear capes! Again from the buttom of my heart THANK You very Much❤❤❤
Mr Steed , I wish you could help me . My guy was in the Air force for over 21 years . He was in Iraq helping out the people there . Finally he was coming home . Three days from the United States and the Ship he was on was taken by the pirates .His friend is trying to send money through but he can't get it to them .My guy has been held for about a month now they sometimes didn't give them food or gave them food that was spoiled he was sick quite a few times over it. They let him text me and they they won at $5,000 then they didn't get the money on time now they want $10,000 is being kept in a dark room he doesn't see any daylight I don't know what's going to happen to him I don't have money to give I wouldn't know how to get it to him anyhow. I really think we need to negotiator otherwise I don't think he'll make it out there alive I need help please. Thank you
Funny, all the government guy’s who didn’t help the situation at any time,suddenly popped their heads up at the end to take credit for the hostages release.
God bless these negotiators, the donors and everyone who contributed to the rescue of the crew. May God always come through for you and your generations and may you all make heaven. To start and finish such an operation is heroic indeed.
Leslie Edwards and John Steed deserve a huge thank you! The 26 men were all alone, nobody was coming for them!Then the negotiations began by Lesley and John,slowly and with very little money from different charities, after over 4 yrs, they agreed to release the hostages!
I would like information on how to contact Leslie Edwards and John's s t e e d e as my guy really needs their help in Somalia he is being held by for ransom by these pirates please help
@@Harpplayer504 My guy was in the Air Force for over 21 years and he was in Iraq helping the people there . Finally he was coming home and was on a ship but 3 days from the United States the Ship was taken by the pirates and he was taken away along with the other ones he is held by himself and a dark room he doesn't see daylight sometimes they don't give them any food and when they do it usually spoiled it makes I'm sick. He told me one of the other people they killed whether they did or not he was told he was killed. His friend keeps trying to get money to him but it doesn't want to go through right and he has the money but he that's what he can't give it to them he just wants to come home. Why I think you need the negotiator come home . Text me sometimes twice the day when they give him his phone and they'll take it away it's more or less trying to get me to find the money I don't have the money but I know he does he just needs to get it from his friend I wish there was someone out there that could help us he waited so long to come home he is trying to be so strong oh dear God if there is negotiator out there that can help me I would appreciate it thank you so much
Mate am Somali,watching this broke my heart and it’s disgusting that it happened. I cannot imagine the trauma and the nightmare you had,all because you just wanted to go home. Am really really sorry that my people made you to go through this. Not all of us are bad.😊 god bless john too

It's heartbreaking to see this video about the kidnapping and the suffering the ship crews have to endured for more than four years which left more than four crews died... What Mr. Leslie Edwards was saying " they were largely from developing countries, they weren't European, they weren't westerners, no governments taking responsibilities for them, there were no insurance available ad really they were left to rotten to die disgracefully, really..." Wow, thats reality. This video is now as an evidence of people who still have the heart and would do their best on whatever it takes with their experience, knowledge, expertise and perseverance to save the remaining 26 Asian poor and helpless crews.. And more than four years wait for an agreement from the pirates was a mind blowing!! Though it is infact you are not in the limelight after thw rescue but you are the main Saint of humanity that have my respect Mr. Leslie Edwards, Mr. John Steed and Mr. George Lamplough... God bless all of you... 🙏🙏🙏
This is an amazing documentary, Thank God for these men. i could not watch all of it, i had to skip some part of it, it was very hard to watch, i am glad these men are free
Absolutely over the moon to be British, to know that when all these humans fellow countrymen washed their hands of them, we actually stepped up and never gave up. These negotiatiors deserve medals x

For Leslie Edwards, John Steed & George Lamplough may you be blessed and place in heavens for make this happened such astonishing & remarkable good will! Thank you for making this happened and to all made this video without this no one will know arounld the world.
It truly baffles me how long it took for these guys to be freed. I appreciate the work people had done to free them but I find it difficult to imagine people going home after a long work day or spend Christmas with there families knowing that there are people hostage somewhere you're responsible for. Again glad to see everyones safe but saddened it took so long.
Aww I love John! He's so awesome. He dedicated quite a FWW years of his life trying to save these young men. When everyone had given up on them, or left em for dead. Both of them guys are heroes 👏 . But ALL boats or ships that transit cargo SHOULD have to be insured wtf?! The owner gave noo fucks about them boys. They still had baby faces.

@@sonnysamra8733 what's illegal fishing??? it's billion dollar theft industry And it will cause death destruction and robbery of whole nation it will cause the piracy itself
For a poor country with droughts and a unstable goverment. All these coastal people relied on fishing for 17 years all sea lofe has been washing up dead on our beaches a lot of countries dumped nuclear and domestic waste, along with the ilieagal fishing these people do what they had to do.
I agreed completely. Giving someone else life back is untouchable, priceless, joyful, profoundly speechless. Take a life is easy, giving a life back is so difficult.
Just for the record. The fishing vessel Naham 3 which is the subject of the documentary was hijacked in the waters of The Seychelles. About at least 1000km from Somalia.
@@Abtigaa well I did the negotiations and debriefed the crew. It was hijacked near the Seychelles and the pirates ordered the crew to sail to the Somali coast.
@@leslieedwards7797 wow if you were involved in the rescue, then i got nothing to say, cause you were there involved in the situation, i was only saying what i heard, which could be right or wrong , but you won, i am out
Their governments should have done much more to help them because 3 to 4 years in captivity is just insane. I really hope they have found a way to stop this from happening again. My prayers go out to these men.🙏
the issue is if they helped everytime it would encourage pirates to do these things. Its a double edged sword. And if say the USA always paid then Americans would have a huge target on their back at all times. Thats why they will not negotiate..
Cmon their governments are some 3rd world countries that know their fishermen were stealing some other poor 3rd world country fish. Why would they pay the ransom of captured thieves?
Having the same heritage background to these pirates, I feel very low! They do not share the same human values than us as they tortured these forgotten guys mercilessly! Thanks to John and the rest of his team! Because of their tremendous efforts and compassion that these poor guys were finally reborn...🙏
blah blah and BS. Pirates were men with steel balls and not faintedhearted -pussy like you. All pirates did was earn some money for their families when they cant fish thier sea due to foreign fishing ships hosing their small fishery boats to chase them away. What is all Asian nationalities doing Somali coast?
dam that was powerful I must say huh it's the greatest and most moving story I've heard, shed me some tears for those guys and their ordeal beautiful simply beautiful
What they were doing in an African ocean all different nationalities who don't have nothing in common in one ship can we say they were fishing pirates also?
It’s crazy how everyone doesn’t see the perspective of the pirates who used to be fishermen but lost everything when fishing boats destroy the ocean habitation then dump toxic chemicals or waste afterwards. Thats why governments don’t intervene.....
I think that some of the blame does go to foreign countries regarding oil and illegal fishing, however, most of the blame seems to lie within the country itself; corruption, in-fighting, lack of good governance and law & order etc. How can a country be rich in oil and yet not wealthy unless some serious corruption has gone on. I don't believe that Somalia was some sort of paradise prior to foreign nations coming in and extracting oil. Although I do agree that it is indeed a crime the environmental mess the oil companies left behind in Somalia.
Still no excuse for kidnapping humans and terrorizing them. Some due end up dying because of the conditions they are left in. That's murder so how can ANYONE justify this? You can't unless you're participating in these criminal activities. Just horrible
@@sonnysamra8733 don't go to their countries and steal their fish there's a proper way to do it without harm... And the country has been in war almost 30yrs there was no low and order there is a language barrier Why would someone risk their life and go there?
@@sonnysamra8733 agree with u ... it is criminal activity ... especially the two men who died hungry ... No food n no water what is that not human be ... it's a shame to know the Somali Community was part of this omg and the religion leader help the gangster man to money omg is sad .. We know all gangster family n no body above tribe old so if religion lead call meet the tribe tell how this ppl the innocent people suffering they free then without money..why Somali news didn't bring this issue if they did it .why iman speak out on pray Friday .. This is my first time heard this because covid-19 now i learn watch youtube never before anyway they keep them 5yrs for what knowing this guys from Asia poor countries ..they was working for white man lil money to take care they family ... Is shame to Somali ppl who let happen ... I feel shame to call my self Somalian ... I apologize to those guys n they family im so sorry what happen .. 30 yrs gone Somali ppl use be human but now they animals
@@faisaahmed2648 shut fxxx up i am somali too, you whining likely lil-g , what were they doing here in Somali water first place, plus this world only the Strongest eats, look at big countries they invade weak countries and take their resources, and they legalize by covering with made up laws. So eat or get eaten
Let me give you my opinion on this as an Ethiopian. Many Somalis don’t like Ethiopians, but I strongly believe that Somalis have the right to defend their waters! Just because their country has been in bad shape in recent history and lacks a strong government capable of defending its territory, doesn’t give just about anybody to come and dump their waste and fish in Somali waters. For instance, imagine if Belgian fishermen came to Britain’s waters to fish after UK has completely withdrawn from the EU and had announced that nobody but UK citizens to fish in their waters? Do you think there won’t be consequences? Of course, it’s gonna be legal consequences since UK and Europe in general have a well established rule of law. But imagine if the UK government was weak to defend its waters, do you think UK citizens would just idly sit by and North African people to come all the way there and take advantage of their resources? Of course, I don’t condone killings but these Somalis have every right to stop outsiders from coming into their waters and catching tons of fish and dumping their waste because they think they can get away with it. Shame on all of you who’re looking at this situation solely from the fishermen’s side. Like I mentioned earlier Ethiopians and Somalis aren’t the best of friends, but this is apparent to see if you’re being logical and rational. You wouldn’t let a thief trespass on your property to take what you legally own. These people made a mistake knowingly or unknowingly, but I wouldn’t feel sorry for any fishermen who knowingly trespasses into a sovereign country’s territory to steal the resources that has legally been allocated to Somalia by international law.
Miskeen Ethiopian always trying to be kind and understanding even towards those who hate you. It won't benefit you defending bloodthirsty and coward pirates taking hostages in international waters.
I am not Somali but let me enlighten you about Somalia ! Somalia have Indian ocean and red sea also livestock blessed with minerals sits on Oil, but poor management and outsiders some super power are part of the problem. This documentary is so degrading Somalis and Somalia, each clip looks disaster place and when you see Lincolnshire and Nairobi looks amazing, Believe me them English men work with pirates and insurance companies for decades and they got paid very well is bussines. They portrait themselves as heroes. And you lot believed, is very funny world we live in. Some guys cried with John's crocodile tears 😢 😭. Blacks hijacked Asians and white man is saviour 😆 Great .
Im truly confident that if Brits handle cases like this Im sure they will succeed, such a magnificent endeavour & would like to thank all international communities who done their part.
@@jadonmesfun6479 they deserve to be kidnapped? Are you stupid? They make a living off fishing there. They were 120 miles from Somali waters and were still kidnapped
@@abel3557 they come to in somali waters all the time most getaway but those caught end up crying. That's why no one comes to help them by the local somalis. Look into illegal fishing.
@@Abdi-libaax it wasn't illegal fishing do your research. They weren't even on Somali waters. They were far from it. Somali pirates go far to kidnap people
Just read the book about 3 of the ships that were kidnapped. It was hard reading but great that some of them were rescued by these incredible men. Hope they are ok now.
Absolutely agree with you. They try to paint them as the villains when they are literally just trying to protect their waters. Somali doesn’t have a functioning government so countries like British and others feel like they can just dump their waste there and steal as much fish as they want. Good on these guys for protecting their land. Every country has the right to protect their sovereignty.
Check this out: 🚢 According to The International Chamber of Commerce's IMB (International Maritime Bureau) Piracy & Armed Robbery Report... In 2018 there were 201 worldwide maritime piracy incidents In 2019 there were 162, but they stated that although there was a decline in 2019 for piracy, there was an alarming increase in crew kidnappings across the Gulf of Guinea. 2020 so far reported: 1/13/20 - 1 attack in Panjang Anchorage, Indonesia & 1 attack in Nacala Anchorage, Mozambique icc-ccs.org According to a different source in 2018, top 10 countries/areas where pirates are: Indonesia, Somalia, Nigeria, Gulf of Aden, India, Bangladesh, Red Sea, Ivory Coast, Peru, & Singapore Strait I love info!
@Corporate slave lol its real, I know one girl who was kidnapped by them, that's why I am here. No western country cares to ruin poor Somalia. Somalia ruined itself.
Guy laughed at clans fighting over camels but each camels cost 1k so if you own 300 that's 300k so of course you fight anyone trying to steal them. 300k in Somalia is alot of money.
The Chinese have invaded our waiters and have depleted Somali fish supplies, what kind of people steal food from a poor country .The real question is why where they in Somali waters
What they were doing in an African ocean all different nationalities who don't have nothing in common in one ship can we say they were fishing pirates also?
what i dont understand, especially on the bigger ships - why don't the sailormen arm themselves up? the pirates are usually in such a disadvantage in those tiny and certainly unarmored boats. of course, as a normal worker, i wouldn't wanna have to carry arms either, but it beats being taken hostage with unknown outcome. no pistoles of course, im talking at least rifles. am i missing something here?
This is BS and these pirates are evil.... As soon as the pirates are seen in the waters... they should be blown to pieces! All those years those innocent men and their loved ones had to suffer...
@AK shut fxxx up i am somali too, you whining likely lil-g , what were they doing here in Somali water first place, plus this world only the Strongest eats, look at big countries they invade weak countries and take their resources, and they legalize by covering with made up laws.

That’s why we say if your not born and raised your not full Somali,go to hell those France guys got a lot to regret in jabuti and killing Somali men who just saving there water from those who are exploring
@@joseph3036 Somali territorial waters extend 200 nautical miles from their coast line. The Seychelles are more than 850 miles away from Somalia's coast line. The kidnapping occurred more than 600 miles from Somalia's coast. What's wrong with you? You sound like the CCP who think they own all SE Asian waters.
These men are truly heroes. To have compassion and care for those sailors when no government would step in is just beautiful. Wow

I agreed completely. Giving someone else life back is untouchable, priceless, joyful, profoundly speechless. Take a life is easy, giving a life back is so difficult.
Thank you so much for helping them. God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏
Amen praise the lord 🙏
These men helping those fisher men are angles. Thank you brothers for helping those in need.
Thank you from the Philippines!
Wow.. Thank you to the expertise of THE NEGOTIATORS and the kind Donors. The Hollywood should make a film of this great stories.
Giving someone back their life is what counts... Beautiful documentary....
Just for the record. The fishing vessel Naham 3 which is the subject of the documentary was hijacked in the waters of The Seychelles. About at least 1000km from Somalia.
Nope i heard it was Somali water
@@Abtigaa well I did the negotiations and debriefed the crew. It was hijacked near the Seychelles and the pirates ordered the crew to sail to the Somali coast.
@@leslieedwards7797 wow if you were involved in the rescue, then i got nothing to say, cause you were there involved in the situation, i was only saying what i heard, which could be right or wrong , but you won, i am out
this comment should be on top. lots of misinformed people on here.
With great respect and thanks. You are blessed🙏🏻
Why are u thanking ppl for helping thieves? There’s a reason countries have EEZ’s and if you steal resources from within that zone you’re a thief!
Him:*drinks tea*
Me:SPILL THE TEA
4 and a half years in their hands. Poor crew members.
imagine how you'd feel
And eating stone 😂
But why are the chinese fishing in Somali water is the question.
Yes so true 😶
They were hijacked near the Sechelles, about 1000km from Somalia coast and ordered to sail to Somalia.
@@Xbangsplot do your research it isn’t the first time China has been on there waters
@@dylanmcleod908 Pay attention. I did not say or imply that it was their first time fishing there.
Omar. They were 1000 miles from Somalia
Bless these men! Truly amazing ❤️
God bless you negotiators.
Thank you 🙏
Their governments should have done much more to help them because 3 to 4 years in captivity is just insane. I really hope they have found a way to stop this from happening again. My prayers go out to these men.🙏
the issue is if they helped everytime it would encourage pirates to do these things. Its a double edged sword. And if say the USA always paid then Americans would have a huge target on their back at all times. Thats why they will not negotiate..
Cmon their governments are some 3rd world countries that know their fishermen were stealing some other poor 3rd world country fish. Why would they pay the ransom of captured thieves?
Having the same heritage background to these pirates, I feel very low!
They do not share the same human values than us
as they tortured these forgotten guys mercilessly!
Thanks to John and the rest of his team!
Because of their tremendous efforts and compassion that these poor guys were finally reborn...🙏

blah blah and BS. Pirates were men with steel balls and not faintedhearted -pussy like you.
All pirates did was earn some money for their families when they cant fish thier sea due to foreign fishing ships hosing their small fishery boats to chase them away. What is all Asian nationalities doing Somali coast?
fascinating documentary god bless you all
All people should have the sensitivity of John who couldn't keep it dr.... Big up for these negotiators !
Salute to you sir for what have you done to my fellow pilipino people and asians friends you are true heroes
I cried so emotional to see them alive and back to their families.. second life
Warthogs strafing the pirates would be a great ending
Try to come their
Ur are true hero for wat u done for all the sailor,truly hero.....
Pirates are hostages of their own investors 😂 lol 🤣😆 it's always the investors
:/
@@swored. hes right tho, everything is about investors, even world wars
dam that was powerful I must say huh it's the greatest and most moving story I've heard, shed me some tears for those guys and their ordeal beautiful simply beautiful
GOD bless to all the negotiator who made the sailors free from captivity.
U mean the thieves who were stealing natural resources from Somalia?
I'm hardened ex military, stunned and on the verge of tears... Wow.
What they were doing in an African ocean all different nationalities who don't have nothing in common in one ship can we say they were fishing pirates also?
Franco Goncalves How many years did you serve? What branch?
Then you're weak man. Case closed.
One man's coast guard is another mans pirate
true
thanks.............all team......mashallah
Funny how the diplomats and governments take the credit. These guys are angels
You would think a group like this can overpower some pirates.
Well, one guy with a gun is more powerful than a dozen with out it, the stupid thing was traveling near Somalia with out any weapons
It’s crazy how everyone doesn’t see the perspective of the pirates who used to be fishermen but lost everything when fishing boats destroy the ocean habitation then dump toxic chemicals or waste afterwards. Thats why governments don’t intervene.....
I think that some of the blame does go to foreign countries regarding oil and illegal fishing, however, most of the blame seems to lie within the country itself; corruption, in-fighting, lack of good governance and law & order etc. How can a country be rich in oil and yet not wealthy unless some serious corruption has gone on. I don't believe that Somalia was some sort of paradise prior to foreign nations coming in and extracting oil. Although I do agree that it is indeed a crime the environmental mess the oil companies left behind in Somalia.
Still no excuse for kidnapping humans and terrorizing them. Some due end up dying because of the conditions they are left in. That's murder so how can ANYONE justify this? You can't unless you're participating in these criminal activities. Just horrible
@@sonnysamra8733 don't go to their countries and steal their fish there's a proper way to do it without harm...
And the country has been in war almost 30yrs there was no low and order there is a language barrier
Why would someone risk their life and go there?
@@sonnysamra8733 agree with u ... it is criminal activity ... especially the two men who died hungry ... No food n no water what is that not human be ... it's a shame to know the Somali Community was part of this omg and the religion leader help the gangster man to money omg is sad .. We know all gangster family n no body above tribe old so if religion lead call meet the tribe tell how this ppl the innocent people suffering they free then without money..why Somali news didn't bring this issue if they did it .why iman speak out on pray Friday .. This is my first time heard this because covid-19 now i learn watch youtube never before anyway they keep them 5yrs for what knowing this guys from Asia poor countries ..they was working for white man lil money to take care they family ... Is shame to Somali ppl who let happen ... I feel shame to call my self Somalian ... I apologize to those guys n they family im so sorry what happen .. 30 yrs gone Somali ppl use be human but now they animals
@@faisaahmed2648 shut fxxx up i am somali too, you whining likely lil-g , what were they doing here in Somali water first place, plus this world only the Strongest eats, look at big countries they invade weak countries and take their resources, and they legalize by covering with made up laws. So eat or get eaten
@@jamesl4033 hhhhh my boy James, i live through logic not emotion, i am not a buddha, no need meditation here. Hhhh
Let me give you my opinion on this as an Ethiopian. Many Somalis don’t like Ethiopians, but I strongly believe that Somalis have the right to defend their waters! Just because their country has been in bad shape in recent history and lacks a strong government capable of defending its territory, doesn’t give just about anybody to come and dump their waste and fish in Somali waters. For instance, imagine if Belgian fishermen came to Britain’s waters to fish after UK has completely withdrawn from the EU and had announced that nobody but UK citizens to fish in their waters? Do you think there won’t be consequences? Of course, it’s gonna be legal consequences since UK and Europe in general have a well established rule of law. But imagine if the UK government was weak to defend its waters, do you think UK citizens would just idly sit by and North African people to come all the way there and take advantage of their resources? Of course, I don’t condone killings but these Somalis have every right to stop outsiders from coming into their waters and catching tons of fish and dumping their waste because they think they can get away with it. Shame on all of you who’re looking at this situation solely from the fishermen’s side. Like I mentioned earlier Ethiopians and Somalis aren’t the best of friends, but this is apparent to see if you’re being logical and rational. You wouldn’t let a thief trespass on your property to take what you legally own. These people made a mistake knowingly or unknowingly, but I wouldn’t feel sorry for any fishermen who knowingly trespasses into a sovereign country’s territory to steal the resources that has legally been allocated to Somalia by international law.
Long rant for nothing. They got hijacked near Seychelles, about 1000km from Somalia.
Your right
Miskeen Ethiopian always trying to be kind and understanding even towards those who hate you. It won't benefit you defending bloodthirsty and coward pirates taking hostages in international waters.
I am not Somali but let me enlighten you about Somalia !
Somalia have Indian ocean and red sea also livestock blessed with minerals sits on Oil, but poor management and outsiders some super power are part of the problem.
This documentary is so degrading Somalis and Somalia, each clip looks disaster place and when you see Lincolnshire and Nairobi looks amazing,
Believe me them English men work with pirates and insurance companies for decades and they got paid very well is bussines.
They portrait themselves as heroes.
And you lot believed, is very funny world we live in.
Some guys cried with John's crocodile tears 😢 😭.
Blacks hijacked Asians and white man is saviour 😆 Great .
Moron. They were hijacked near Seychelles, about 1000km from Somalia.
@@Xbangsplot I heard you 🔔 end.
Iam from eretria.you guy you have to know km square of somalia water
Kudos to the rescue team 👏.
Im truly confident that if Brits handle cases like this Im sure they will succeed, such a magnificent endeavour & would like to thank all international communities who done their part.
Why are they fishing in the Somali waters in the first place? Knowing that Somali Pirates exist since the ancient ages
Technically they wasn’t in somali waters but close to them enough where the pirates found them at sea then made the ship go into Somali waters etc
@@dexrim643 They shouldn't have been that close. They deserve it. They should be fishing near their own Malaysian seas far away from Somali waters.
@@jadonmesfun6479 they deserve to be kidnapped? Are you stupid? They make a living off fishing there. They were 120 miles from Somali waters and were still kidnapped
@@abel3557 they come to in somali waters all the time most getaway but those caught end up crying. That's why no one comes to help them by the local somalis. Look into illegal fishing.
@@Abdi-libaax it wasn't illegal fishing do your research. They weren't even on Somali waters. They were far from it. Somali pirates go far to kidnap people
Funniest part 27:50 Somalis live in different dimension 😂😂
Idiot
bravo
CNA Insider
Omg the machine guns that showed up for the security escort lol
Every family owns multiple of those in Somalia 🇸🇴
They are anti aircraft machines meant to bring aeroplanes down but we use it to fight people.
I was actually in my getting machine guns on top of 🐪 camels
I have 3 PKM machine guns.
10 Ak-47's.
4 G3's.
😂😂🤣🤣
Just read the book about 3 of the ships that were kidnapped. It was hard reading but great that some of them were rescued by these incredible men. Hope they are ok now.
God is good all the time
Total respect gentleman
They where coming to steal somali fish otherwise why are you so far from home.....I salute the pirates protect the waters my brothers
Absolutely agree with you. They try to paint them as the villains when they are literally just trying to protect their waters. Somali doesn’t have a functioning government so countries like British and others feel like they can just dump their waste there and steal as much fish as they want. Good on these guys for protecting their land. Every country has the right to protect their sovereignty.
are you really trying to compare “stealing” fish from the ocean and kidnapping and murdering people? SMH
@@magool8581 they were 1000km from somali waters wtf
@@HiBye-um7lt we advice them many times
Salute to all...An honourable gentlemans
Wait...pirates are still a thing
Ay ay shibble me timbers
Check this out: 🚢
According to The International Chamber of Commerce's IMB (International Maritime Bureau) Piracy & Armed Robbery Report...
In 2018 there were 201 worldwide maritime piracy incidents
In 2019 there were 162, but they stated that although there was a decline in 2019 for piracy, there was an alarming increase in crew kidnappings across the Gulf of Guinea.
2020 so far reported:
1/13/20 - 1 attack in Panjang Anchorage, Indonesia & 1 attack in Nacala Anchorage, Mozambique
icc-ccs.org
According to a different source in 2018, top 10 countries/areas where pirates are: Indonesia, Somalia, Nigeria, Gulf of Aden, India, Bangladesh, Red Sea, Ivory Coast, Peru, & Singapore Strait
I love info!
@Corporate slave lol its real, I know one girl who was kidnapped by them, that's why I am here. No western country cares to ruin poor Somalia. Somalia ruined itself.
@@herikaniugu and they somehow justify this barbaric behavior by blaming others. Unbelievable
Guy laughed at clans fighting over camels but each camels cost 1k so if you own 300 that's 300k so of course you fight anyone trying to steal them. 300k in Somalia is alot of money.
True. It's a lot of money anywhere.
So you could basically trade a phone for a camel? loool
@@alexj1768 a phone costs double the amount for a cow, while Somali camels cost over 1000 dollars, somalis also keep cows sheep goats and horses
@@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505 That’s cool 😄
Gods got a Special place for these men
Very good 🙏🙏🙏 4:54 samaritans ❤❤
Omg those poor poor men must’ve been devastated that nobody they could see would help them.
4 years + is very long time stay away from Somali water's is good Idea
The Chinese have invaded our waiters and have depleted Somali fish supplies, what kind of people steal food from a poor country .The real question is why where they in Somali waters
I am not making excuse for taking hostages fyi
They’re not in Somali waters. They’re on international waters.
@@Timo8.2. Nope
Shut up !!! You know very well this is not about fish
They were 1000km from Somalia.
What they were doing in an African ocean all different nationalities who don't have nothing in common in one ship can we say they were fishing pirates also?
No you can’t, maybe smugglers at worst but pirates go after ships, not fish
what i dont understand, especially on the bigger ships - why don't the sailormen arm themselves up? the pirates are usually in such a disadvantage in those tiny and certainly unarmored boats. of course, as a normal worker, i wouldn't wanna have to carry arms either, but it beats being taken hostage with unknown outcome. no pistoles of course, im talking at least rifles. am i missing something here?
This is BS and these pirates are evil.... As soon as the pirates are seen in the waters... they should be blown to pieces! All those years those innocent men and their loved ones had to suffer...
Stfup, what were they doing on foreign seas. acting like innocent.
This is sick , as a Somali i cant imagine running into these guys , i am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart
Walagu wasa saxib
@AK shut fxxx up i am somali too, you whining likely lil-g , what were they doing here in Somali water first place, plus this world only the Strongest eats, look at big countries they invade weak countries and take their resources, and they legalize by covering with made up laws.

That’s why we say if your not born and raised your not full Somali,go to hell those France guys got a lot to regret in jabuti and killing Somali men who just saving there water from those who are exploring
3：45 Why were they fishing so far from their own territories.
Good question?
They were also far from Somalia. About 1000km away when they got hijacked
@@Xbangsplot 1000 KM from Somalia is not international waters, it's Somali territory.
@@joseph3036 Somali territorial waters extend 200 nautical miles from their coast line. The Seychelles are more than 850 miles away from Somalia's coast line. The kidnapping occurred more than 600 miles from Somalia's coast. What's wrong with you? You sound like the CCP who think they own all SE Asian waters.
@@Xbangsplot its been our water for centuries u don't get to come and tell us whats ours and whats not. stay near ur country
