Ethiopia - Meles Zenawi said 'very concerned' over level of piracy off Somalia coast
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said he was very concerned by the seizure of a Ukrainian ship off Somalia carrying military supplies and feared they would be used to further destabilize the region, according to a report by the Reuters news-agency. He was quoted as saying "We are very concerned about the level of piracy on the seas. It is related to the instability in Somalia". Meles Zenawi spoke on Saturday in New York before a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"They could be used to destabilize the region and the whole situation on the high seas is a matter of great concern for all of us," Meles said.
"We very much hope the international community will respond."
