I saw heavily armed militants enter the town on around 10 armed vehicles,\u201d Abdulkadir Hasan, an elder in Harardhere, told AFP by phone.<br \/> \u201cThere was not fighting because the Islamists did not encounter any resistance,\u201d he said. Harardhere is one of the major pirate hubs in Somalia. \u201cThe three vessels held there are in danger,\u201d Andrew Mwangura, the head of the East African Seafarers\u2019 Assistance Programme, told AFP. One is the MV Rak Afrikana, a Seychelles-owned cargo vessel sailing under a flag of convenience from the Caribbean island of St Vincent and the Grenadines, he said. It was hi-jacked last month in the Indian Ocean with a crew of 23 on board.<\/p>\n<p>Source: TheNews.com.pk<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOGADISHU: Islamists on Sunday seized Somalia\u2019s port town and major pirate hub of Harardhere, residents said, raising concerns for three international ships and 60 crew held there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c59-islamic-world"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
