I suppose that anyone in Somalia with enough money to hire his own army could also buy his own coast guard. But come on, there is not a semblance to law and order in that country, so no coast guards.
Interestingly, only a year ago, on 30th May, between 12 and 35 heavily armed Islamist fighters arrived in Bargal in two fishing boats from southern Somalia and clashed with local troops. On June 1, a US Navy warship, the USS
Chafee, shelled hills around Bargal where Islamist militants were reported to have set up a base. US reports suggest the target was an al-Qaeda operative suspected of involvement in the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
