Mark J. Valencia, Visiting Senior Fellow at the Maritime Institute of Malaysia (MIMA), and Nazery Khalid, Senior Fellow at MIMA, write, “Rather than extend the Somali intervention ‘lessons’ to Southeast Asia, the international community should extend to the GOA and Somalian waters the lessons from Southeast Asia, i.e. assistance to enhance political and social stability, economic development, and anti-piracy technology and training with the goal of indigenous control of the anti-piracy response.”

Carolin Liss, a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at the Asia Research Centre at Murdoch University, writes, “patrolling pirate infested waters will not address the underlying root causes of modern day piracy, which include illegal and over-fishing, lax (international) maritime regulations, ineffective and corrupt government forces, armed conflict and widespread poverty… It is therefore important for Australia, and other countries already involved in combating Somali piracy, to understand that the current international patrols have to be seen as a first step in a longer process.”
