WEEK IN REVIEW: Three Chinese Warships Head to Gulf of Aden For Anti-Piracy Mission

Three Chinese warships left Guangdong on Saturday and are now making their way to the Gulf of Aden to take part in anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia. However, the key question is how long they’ll stay. After 14 years, the Somali government now appears to have had enough of foreign warships in its waters and informed the UN last month that it would like the joint task force to disband at the end of February. Mogadishu contends“piracy no longer poses a significant threat to regional peace and security.” (XINHUA)
