Canadian marines have joined the NATO forces fighting the Somali pirates, which hijack the humanitarian vessels and the Kenya-Somalia business vessels.
About 235 Canadian marine troops equipped with high-speed boats and a 5000 tone of weapons have arrived in Indian Ocean. The troops are said to join the US marines based there.
However, there are other troops which are already present off the Somalia coast, particularly the Danish forces present near Djibouti. Forces from USA, Canada, Holland, Denmark, Portuguese and Germany equipped with warships are based there. The arrival of Canadian marines off the coast of Somalia is a new move by Canada aimed at combating pirates.
