Somali pirates have hijacked an Egyptian vessel called "MV Suez" today. The pirates attacked the vessel near the Gulf of Eden. The crew of the MV Suez includes 23 sailors from Egypt , Pakistan , Sri Lanka and India. The vessel is not officially Egyptian as it was registered in Panama and has got a Panama flag on it.
I hope our officials will be more active because it is just matter of days and Ramadan will start , many families will have a sad Ramadan with the absence of their fathers, husbands and sons.
Speaking of families and Ramadan , does anyone else still remember the Badr-1 vessel disappearance saga !!?? We are now in August 2010 and we have known the fate of this ship and its crew yet.
