U.N. Authorizes Land, Air Attacks on Somali Pirates
UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 16 -- The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Tuesday to authorize nations to conduct military raids, on land and by air, against pirates plying the waters off the Somalia coast even as two more ships were reportedly hijacked at sea.
UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 16 -- The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Tuesday to authorize nations to conduct military raids, on land and by air, against pirates plying the waters off the Somalia coast even as two more ships were reportedly hijacked at sea.
The U.S.-drafted resolution authorizes nations to "use all necessary measures that are appropriate in Somalia" in pursuit of pirates, as long as they are approved by the country's transitional federal government. The resolution also urges states to deploy naval vessels and military aircraft to carry out the operations, and it calls for the creation of a regional office to coordinate the international effort.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon warned that Somalia may descend into "chaos" by the end of the month, when an Ethiopian occupation force leaves the country. He said his efforts to muster an international force strong enough to stabilize the situation have been unsuccessful.
Ban rejected Rice's proposal for a U.N. peacekeeping mission in Somalia, suggesting that conditions there were not secure enough. Instead, he asked the Security Council to increase funding for a financially strapped African Union force that has struggled to secure strategic sea and air ports.

The commander of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet warned last week that ground attacks on suspected Somali pirates would put the lives of innocent civilians at risk. Rice told reporters Tuesday, "What we do or do not do in cases of hot pursuit we'll have to see, and you'll have to take it case by case."

update on: NWO Somalia 'Integration' Phase II: Hunt 'Pirates' On Land 12-12-08:
"The United States has requested international authorisation for countries pursuing Somali pirates to hunt them down on land." (see post/comments for full details)

The U.N. security Council has granted permission to "authorize nations" to conduct military raids in Somalia. Somalia is now to be 'officially' forced into submission to the NWO by military strikes "on land and by air". Bombed into submission perhaps?
There will be no U.N. peacekeeping mission to follow up this time says Ban Ki-moon. Rather than that, increased funding for the fledgling "African Union" is needed so that they can be trained to police their own new NWO 'global region', which will include Somalia whether they like it or not. see Pirates And NWO Somali Takeover 11-20-08: "Will not Somalia be forced to integrate into the new African 'Regional Union' (see post/comments)
The building of the Antichrist global system of 'regional governments' is nearing completion (here). A few rogue states remain outside of the control network but this will not be tolerated, as evidenced by what is happening in Somalia. Canada, America, and Mexico must also be fitted into their place. Be aware. Rev. 18:4
