10 foreign fishing vessels have been confiscated this year by the Department of Maritime Observation (Fiscap) of Guinea Bissau, the Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Junior announced on Monday in Bissau, the capital.
Speaking as he visited these vessels along with the public prosecutor, Amine Michel Saad, Carlos Gomes Junior was careful not to reveal to reporters the origin of the vessels. He just said that they belong to Bissau-Guinean partners.
He reiterated, on that occasion, his call on the international community to help his country in the fight against drug trafficking as well as against piracy.
