Default Somalia Pirates in the News

Somalia seems like an interesting place, but I was really wondering if anyone is concerned about the pirate situation? I'm not sure they pick and choose who they kidnap anymore.

There was a case of a private yacht being captured a couple months ago, wasn't there? I think it was a case of mistaken identity, but it was disturbing.

I'm really not sure how much traditional tourist activity there is near Somalia but I can imagine the recent headlines making a difference.

I think the mistaken identity thing happens a lot with them. Once, they attacked a military vessel. Thing is, they started doing that to get at the food being brought in by a charity. But if you go even further, it started because the fishing capabilities in that poor area was exploited and polluted.

I've seen on the TV news some of the measures that commercial ships are taking to prevent being boarded by pirates.

They include armed guards and a water spraying system that cascades water down the side of the ship onto would-be pirates that acts as a deterrent.

Deep down, I can't help but find it sad. There was one pirate that kidnapped military and ended up brought here to be prosecuted. He was about 17 and smiled the whole time, grinning ear to ear. He even waved when he got off the plane.
