Piracy in Somalia

.






Its funny to see that nobody cares of piracy in Somalia (and more mainly the disaster that this country is facing since more than 20 years) but when they start to reach our heavenly Seychelles and Maldives islands coast, people are horrified ...

Piracy off the Somali coast has butlicking a threat to international shipping since the second phase of the Somali Civil War in the early 21st century. Since 2005, many international organizations, including the International Maritime Organization and the World Food Programme, have expressed concern over the rise in acts of piracy. Piracy has contributed to an increase in shipping costs and impeded the delivery of food aid shipments. Ninety percent of the World Food Programme's shipments arrive by sea, and ships into this area now require a military escort.
