On Wednesday, the boat from Indonesia, was hijacked while sailing off the coast of Somalia. There are some crew, who were arrested. Pirates demanding ransom very much. I did not expect, this happens. The family crew, very worried about their families. To free them, it takes a lot of money. As an Indonesian, I really hope, all the Indonesian people and government, can help release them from pirates.

I am sorry to hear about that. I am not from Indonesia and I feel for those held captive. I hope the government can assist to free these people. It must be truly harrowing for their families. I will keep them in my prayers. I hope if the pirates are caught they are adequately punished. What an awful ordeal. I will pray for the safety of the crew.

Saddening to think that if they raise the money that perhaps this type of crime will continue because the criminals feel that it is an easy way to get money. In the meantime the poor people suffering while being kidnapped must really be scared and frightened. I so hope they can freed soon, unharmed and the pirates caught for such an awful act.

It is time that some one or some country put a stop to this piracy. This is the 21st century, not the 16th. Since the pirates seem to be immune to prosecution by their government, who will be willing to put a stop to this? It seems that it is something that the UN should handle, but they are busy elsewhere right now.

As Indonesian, I have same hope with you.
We already know that Somalian pirates still doing the same thing, hijacking ships. But the poor thing is, not only Indonesian government, even UN still can't stop this Somalian pirates. I hope all victim countries will be unite to fight against this hijacking..

Hi indahfth 
Wow how sad to hear of this and shameful that so many crimes today occur. It think each day something new with crime and assualt towards the innocent. I will pray for them indahdth, I don't think if I was affected personally and my family that I could deal with something like this.
