K'Naan breaks down the history of Somalian piracy...

As K expressed, the motives for piracy have recently lost their moral foundation. No longer is it strictly to counteract the dumping of Toxic waste, but in a quest for greed. But how did piracy emerge? According to an article by Johan Hari piracy began as an egalitarian practice, the consequence of authoratarian captains who were overrun by their crewmen who had enough of their tyranny. In addition Pirates, unlike slave owning Europeans, actually seen through race, and relished their brethren no matter what their rise. This microcosm of democracy has since had a negative impact on the world at large no doubt, but it clearly demonstrates yet again the importance of history.

OMFG

More like Africas only option is stimulate the global fake economy with interest earned on its outstanding, and now increased debt load. You heard right, this years G20 conference produced an amazingly unoriginal solution to deal with 3rd world poverty, that is, wisp more money out of thin air and lend it to countries who haven't been afforded the luxury of doing so; essentially they will be lent back the interest they already paid!
