Intel suggests "Yemen is supplying Somali pirates with boats, fuel & weapons"

[Hemaal]

The former director of intelligence in Somalia's Puntland region, Abdi Hassan Hussein, agrees piracy is re-emerging in the region. He says there are organized groups in advanced preparations to conduct attacks.

“There are more than eight groups who are want to engage piracy activities, some of them already went into the sea, some are in preparation and some have already carried out attacks,” Hussein told VOA Somali.

“It [piracy] may increase in the coming days if the Somali government and the international community fail to take action to prevent these incidents."

Hussein believes Yemenis are involved in piracy, supplying the Somali pirates with logistics such as vessels, weapons, ammunition, GPS, fuel and engines. He said the Yemenis who are helping the Somali pirates are taking advantage of the chaos in their own country.

“The Yemenis are not the pirates but they are facilitating it, they are investors,” Hussein said.
