Kenyan navy shells Somali town after rebels retreat

The pirates need to be hung, all of them for the protection of the many.

Al Shabaab is finished. It's only a matter of time. Major groups are already splintering off, looking to negotiate with the new Somali government. Let us hope this is the first step toward a peaceful, unified Somalia.

Triumvere hope you are right, though pirates everywhere need to swing. Being soft on this scum encourages them.

The issue of Al Shabaab is much larger than piracy. That said, restoring the rule of law to Somalia is the first step towards eradicating piracy.

Yuri, you are so tsumetai! How can you not feel sorry for the poor, misunderstood terrorists! You know, Somalis are just people like you and me, so some of them kill people on ships to get $$$$, can you really blame them? We should all start crying foul! How can Kenyans kill other Africans!! Yuri! Are you really in touch with your TRUE inner emotions?? Please, please remember Somalians are nicer than most Chinese and Koreans who are now invading your islands, just say NO to the death penalty!!

Yuri, you just do not understand the hardships of poor Somali terrorists!

I hope that's sarcasm...

I'm glad Kenya is taking action. Al-Shabaab has been a problem for a while. I haven't seen much of this on the news.
