France: Non!

China: Uh, we only small pre-industrial country, with few tiny people, little resources, we not helpful here, we let you big countries work it out, OK, bye now!

Somalia: Perhaps the state sponsor of the pirates, whoever that is, might agree to stop allowing the pirates to operate from their beautiful shores if some sort of agreement could be reached? We are sure…ahhh...we think they could be persuaded to intervene for some small gestures of goodwill. We would like...ahhh, excuse me,...THEY should be happy with some investments in infrastructure. Our generous Chinese comrades may wish to build something like, I don't know, maybe an oil refinery. We...THEY of course would allow generous access to mineral deposits and open markets for a variety of plastic toys. We, Somalia, humbly volunteer to be a secure trusted go-between for these negotiations.
