According to a CNN article, countries have pledged more than $200 million in aid to help Somalia fight the pirates. Also, the Somalian prime minister has requested to have Somalia's arms embargo lifted so that they can get weapons that are superior to the pirates' weapons.
I don't think this is a good idea. Somalia ranks as the MOST corrupt country in the world according to the Global Corruption Index. I think the money is fine, but the weapons embargo should remain. I don't want this to turn into another Afghanistan situation.
