Why release them. For sure they are better off in Somalia than in Sri Lanka.

This is the moment we need the help of EU countries and USA. Some of our government side politicians reject and criticise these countries ignorantly purely for the cheap politics and we should now tell them to go to Somalia and rescue our people.During this upcoming election Sri Lankan voters should reject and vote them out these cheap politicians who hoodwink Sri Lankans. These politicians do more bad than good to the country.

SOmalia is our friendly country but the pirates. Saudi Arabia is rich enough to pay what the pirates demand and surely all will be safe and return home safely. Our missions need not worry about this but to ensure safety of our housemaids in the Middle East

Somalis are very friendly people and I personally associates with them when I was employed in Saudi Arabia. Pirates are just a handful of terrorists and will be handled confortably by the Saudi Navy, who are well trained to handle such thieves.

If they are indeed the Somali pirates who have captured them; only the demanded ransom met by the Saudi Shipping Co. will do. Minister (or President) talking of 'ensure the safety and well being of captives' is load of hot air, that will only infuriate the hijackers. Everytime a ship is hijacked, it's the same theme. At the end the, captives are only released after the ransom is paid. So the bandits wins every time; until the world community make a final concerted effort to wipe out the menace for good. Otherwise, many other bandits will swap trades in favour of this lucrative business.

Do Saudis show leniency towards these pirates? What about severe punishments meted out to robbers and thieves in the kingdom? Become a role model and send a suicide squad to teach them morals, of course saudi morals! Otiose precepts and outrance sermons?
