NAIROBI, Kenya - Ua hoʻokokoke ka waʻa liʻiliʻi keʻokeʻo i ka moku holo moku Italia ʻo Melody ma hope o ka ʻaina ahiahi i kona holo ʻana i ka ʻākau o Seychelles, ʻo ka poʻe pōā e kī pū ana i ka 1,500 mau ohua a me nā luina ma luna o ka moku.

ʻO ka mea i manaʻo ʻole ʻia e ka poʻe pōā, ʻo ia, i ka pōʻeleʻele, e kī hou ka poʻe holo moku.

Ma kahi hoʻololi hou i ka hoʻonui nui ʻana o ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana i ka pōā Somalia, ua kī ʻia nā pūʻali koa ʻIseraʻela pilikino ma luna o ka moku moana MSC Cruises i ka poʻe pōā i ka Pōʻaono me nā pistols a me nā hose wai, e pale ana iā lākou mai ka piʻi ʻana i luna, wahi a ka luna o ka hui ʻo Domenico Pellegrino.

"He hana pilikia ia," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Pellegrino i ka The Associated Press. “ʻAʻole lākou i manaʻo i ka pane wikiwiki. Pīhoihoi lākou.

Ua kauoha ʻia nā poʻe holo e hoʻi i ko lākou mau keʻena a ua pio nā kukui o ka papa. Holo ka moku nui i ka pōʻeleʻele, a ua alakaʻi ʻia e kekahi moku kaua Sepania e hōʻoia i kona holo ʻana i kona awa e hiki mai ana.

"Me he mea lā aia mākou i ke kaua," i haʻi aku ai ka luna Italia o ka moku, ʻo Ciro Pinto, i ka lekiō mokuʻāina ʻo Italia.

ʻAʻole i hōʻeha ʻia kekahi o nā poʻe kaʻa he 1,000 a ma ke ahiahi o ka Lāpule ua hoʻi lākou i waho o ka papa e hoʻolāʻau ana iā lākou iho, wahi a Pellegrino.

Akā, ʻōlelo ka poʻe loiloi ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻia ʻana o nā mea kaua e ka pūʻali palekana o ka moku e hiki ke hoʻopilikia i nā mea i loko o nā wai i hoʻopiʻi ʻia ma ka Horn of Africa, kahi i hoʻouka ʻia ai ma luna o 100 mau moku i ka makahiki i hala e nā pōā ma Somalia. Ma kahi kokoke i nā hijacking a pau, ʻaʻole i pōʻino ka poʻe holo moku a hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma hope o ka uku ʻia ʻana.

"Aia ka ʻae ʻana i ka ʻoihana moku, i ka hapa nui o nā hihia, ʻaʻole he manaʻo maikaʻi ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi kiaʻi. No. .

ʻAʻole ʻae ka poʻe akamai ʻē aʻe, e ʻōlelo ana he ʻokoʻa ka pōā ma ke kahakai o Somalia i kēia manawa no ka makemake nui o nā pōā i ka ukana kanaka.

"ʻO kā lākou ʻoihana ʻoihana, inā makemake ʻoe, ʻaʻole ia e hele i kahi laina e lawe ai i ke kaumaha o ka honua ma luna o lākou. Makemake lākou e hopu i nā mea paʻa a hoʻopaʻa i kēlā mau mea paʻa. No laila ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia ka hana ʻino, "wahi a ka loea ʻAmelika Peter Pham, ka luna o ka Nelson Institute for International and Public Affairs ma James Madison University.

Ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo ia ʻaʻole ʻo ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i nā moku he hopena hoʻomau, no ka mea, he 20,000 mau moku e hele ana ma ke kahawai ʻo Aden i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

"No ka Melody, ke kamaʻilio nei ʻoe e pili ana i 1,000 mau mea kaʻa a me 500 mau hui, no laila paha no ka 1,500 poʻe e uku ana e loaʻa ka palekana ma luna o ka moku, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ka noʻonoʻo - akā inā ʻoe e pili ana i nā moku ukana maʻamau, ʻokoʻa loa ia," wahi āna.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pellegrino ua loaʻa iā MSC Cruises nā pūʻali palekana pilikino ʻIseraʻela ma kā lākou mau moku āpau no ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo nā pū ma luna o ka moku ma ka manaʻo o ka luna a me nā pūʻali palekana.

Ua hana ʻia ka hoʻouka ʻana ma kahi kokoke i Seychelles a ma kahi o 500 mau mile (800 mau kilomita) hikina o Somalia, e like me ka anti-piracy flotilla headquarters o ka Maritime Security Center Horn o ʻApelika. E holo ana ka Melody i ke kapakai hikina o ʻApelika, mai Durban, ʻApelika Hema a hiki i Genoa, Italia.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pinto, ua kī ka poʻe pōā "e like me ka pupule" me nā mea kaua maʻalahi, e hoʻopōʻino iki i ka liner, i ka wā i hele mai ai lākou ma kahi moku liʻiliʻi, keʻokeʻo like me ka Zodiac.

"Ma hope o ʻehā a ʻelima mau minuke, ua hoʻāʻo lākou e kau i kahi alapiʻi," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Pinto iā Sky TG24. "Ua hoʻomaka lākou e piʻi i luna akā ua pane mākou, hoʻomaka mākou e puhi iā mākou iho. I ko lākou ʻike ʻana i kā mākou ahi, a me ka wai hoʻi o nā ʻūhā wai a mākou i hoʻomaka ai e kāpīpī i ka Zodiac, haʻalele lākou a hele aku…

Ua ʻike ʻo Lt. Nathan Christensen, ka mea haʻiʻōlelo no ka US Navy 5th Fleet, ʻo ka mamao mai ke kahakai ʻo Somalia - 500 mau mile - he hōʻailona ia o ka ulu ʻana o ka mākaukau o ka poʻe pōā. A hiki i ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā pōā pōā i hana ʻia ma loko o 100 mau mile mai ke kahakai ʻo Somali akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i ka hāʻule hope loa ua loaʻa kahi "hoʻololi maoli i kā lākou hiki ke hana."

“ʻAʻole i lohe ʻia ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hoʻouka kaua ma nā kahakai o Seychelles; ua loaʻa iā mākou kekahi i ka mahina i hala aku nei, "wahi āna. "Akā i ka manawa like, he hōʻailona ia e neʻe hou aku ana lākou mai ke kahakai ʻo Somali."

Ma kahi hanana ʻokoʻa i ka Lāpule, ua ʻōlelo ke Kuhina Kalaiaina o Yemen i ka hakakā ʻana o nā kiaʻi kahakai Yemeni me nā pōā a pepehi i ʻelua o lākou i ka wā i hoʻāʻo ai lākou e hao i kahi tanker Yemeni ma ke kahawai ʻo Aden. A ʻo ka moku holo moku Turkish ʻo Ariva 3, me ʻelua mau pūʻali koa Pelekane a me ʻehā mau poʻe Kepani ma luna, ua ola i ka hoʻouka kaua pōā kokoke i ka mokupuni Yemeni o Jabal Zuqar, wahi a Ali el-Awlaqi, ke poʻo o ka hui Yemeni El-Awlaqi Marine.

Ma mua o kēia mahina, ua pana ka US Navy a pepehi i ʻekolu mau pōā a lawe i ka hapahā i loko o ka hale paʻahao ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻana o ʻelima mau lā i loko o ka wai mai ke kahakai ʻo Somali kahi i kāʻili ai lākou i ka hae ʻAmelika ʻo Maersk Alabama.

ʻO ka pānaʻi ahi o ka Pōʻaono ma waena o ka Melody a me nā pōā kekahi o nā mea i hōʻike mua ʻia ma waena o nā poʻe pōā a me kahi moku kaua ʻole. ʻO nā moku kīwila a me nā moku kaʻa i pale aku i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā pūʻali koa a i ʻole ka hoʻolimalima ʻana i ka palekana palekana no nā kumu o ka palekana, kuleana a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā lula o nā ʻāina ʻē a lākou e kuʻi ai.

ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo ia ka hoʻouka mua ʻana i kahi moku holo moku. I Nowemapa, ua wehe ka poʻe pōā i ke ahi ma luna o kahi moku i hoʻokele ʻia e US, ʻo ka M/S Nautica, ka mea e lawe ana i 650 mau ohua a me 400 mau pūʻali koa ma ka holo moku hoʻomaha hoʻokahi mahina mai Roma a Singapore. Ua hiki i ka liner ke holo ma mua o nā pōā. A i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ʻApelila, ua kāʻili ʻia kahi moku mākaʻikaʻi e nā pōā Somalia kokoke i Seychelles ma hope o ka waiho ʻana i kāna ukana o nā mākaʻikaʻi.
