A Wrongheaded Approach

The developed nations have been approaching Somali pirates as criminals; attempting to apprehend and try them. Obviously this hasn't been working. A new approach is needed.

I propose declaring seagoing Somalis an outlaw group. Allow no Somali craft of any size to put to sea.

To accomplish that end, sail into Somali harbors and sink all boats and ships found there. Destroy everything larger than a surfboard or kayak. Problem solved.
