African Quote by Nick Turse
“The United States has been fighting African pirates since the early days of the republic - battles so formative that, among other things, they established a long-standing pattern of dealing with foreign policy problems through armed interventions and also inspired the iconic phrase 'the shores of Tripoli' in the Marine Corps hymn.”
![“[Somali maritime violence] is a response to greedy Western nations, who invade and exploit Somalia's water resources illegally. It is not a piracy, it is self defence. It is defending the Somalia children's food.” quote by Muammar al-Gaddafi](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/860/muammar-al-gaddafi-9622_children_somali-maritime-violence-is-a-response-t_736161.jpg)
