1/1 Do you know that #7 of the Chinese vessels recently granted fishing licences had already involved fishing illegally in Somali waters. Here is the investigation conducted in 2015 by the FISH-i Africa fish-i-africa.org/wp-content/upl… 
1/2 #6 vessels named LU QING YUAN YU followed by the numbers #101, #102, #105, #106, #107 and #108, and the XIN SHI JI #85. All these commercial fishing boats are in the list of the vessels that @fisheriesSOM newly granted fishing licences. Check them here mfmr.gov.so/assets/content…
1/3 Also in the link below listen the Economic Advisor of the @fisheriesSOM claimed that with the help of #FAO and #WB they have done due diligence to check if all these boats are on IUU Blacklist while at least it's supposed to be blacklisted as an IUU vessels by the ministry.
1/4 Here is the link listen from 3:47min bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1… Somalia talked with China "which is the flag state" regarding the issue of these #7 vessels. That means the Ministry of Fisheries @fisheriesSOM already knows about these vessels.
My question is, what's going on?
