Next, the East African Government and the British engaged in deep discussions regarding the Indian Ocean issue, which was the purpose of Tom Thomson's visit here.
Thomson said, "In recent years, under the leadership of Hassan, bandits have stirred up a bloody storm in the Horn of Africa, seriously threatening the safety of merchant ships from various countries in the Aden Bay area."
"Therefore, the two countries can fully cooperate to combat the pirate forces led by Hassan in the Aden Bay area. We are also willing to delegate the responsibility of maintaining local stability in the Horn of Africa region east of Beyla to East Africa."
Who exactly is Hassan, to be singled out as a target by Thomson?
