...young Somalis went missing in Canada and are presumed to be on their way to Somalia or are already here,' President Sharif Sheikh AhmedAhmed said. "It is exploitation against these youngsters, against their parents and against the Somali people to smuggle the youngsters whose understanding of their religion and the country is limited and whose parents escaped with them from Somalia in the first place to give them a better life."

Young 'lured' to fight in Somalia, leader says [National Post - 11 hours ago]
...are not only taking our fish, but they are also stopping us from fishing,' said Mohamed Abdirahman, a fisherman in Brava, 200km south of Mogadishu. "They have rammed boats and cut nets.â$$ He said a number of Somali fishermen were missing and presumed dead after encounters â$œwith these big shipsâ$$. Abdirahman said the number of foreign ships in the south had increased after they were chased from the north by pirates. He said the foreign ships were now being protected by the navies of their countries and â$œdo whatever they want to usâ$$. Local fishermen go out late at night to set their nets, but discover in the morning that they have been cut or stolen. 'They are no longer satisfied to take our fish, but they are forcing us to abandon fishing altogether,' he said. He claimed some of the foreign navies were treating Somali fishermen as if they were pirates and had occasionally opened fire on Somali fishing boats. 'We are forced to avoid going far and stay within sight of towns to avoid them and this means our catches are much smaller,' Abdirahman said. 'We are being driven out of business by foreign vessels protected by their navies. Who is protecting us? Our existence depends on the fish.' He said the international community was only 'talking about the piracy problem in Somalia, but not about the destruction of our coast and our lives by these foreign ships'. Photo: A fisherman prepares his boat for the sea in Merka He said many families were already destitute and if the situation did not improve, â$œmany families will be beggingâ$$. Somalia has a 3,330km coastline, with major landing sites in Kismayo, Mogadishu, Merka, Brava, Eil, Bargal, Bolimog, Las Korey and Berbera, and Bosasso. It has large species, including tuna and mackerel; smaller stocks, such as sardines; shark species and lobsters. Somalia, which has been ravaged by civil war since 1991 and has had no effective functioning central government, lacks the capacity to ensure controlled exploitation of the fishing sector and can hardly enforce fishing regulations on its own, much less stop foreign vessels, said a civil society source in Mogadishu."
