Ten years on, what remains of Somalia's 'Pirateland'?

[Cumar]

"A decade ago, Somali pirates were frequently in the headlines for hijacking boats and holding their crews for ransom. The epicentre of the piracy crisis was Somalia's northeastern state of Puntland. Local fishermen were angry at trawlers from around the world scouring the plentiful waters of the Horn of Africa. Our reporters returned to Puntland to meet its fishermen and talk to local armed forces who today face a much more dangerous threat: Al Shabaab Islamists."

Somali Pirate Saga has died since 2012, IC financed puntland maritime forces and the pirating industry died with it.

Piracy needs to make a comeback so the money to fight against it will roll back in again.

Its been boring for the last couple of years

United States and EU, they financed it because the pirates were too close to the very strategic & international Suez Canal & Gulf of Aden, theres a lot of international trade that is facilitated through this particular area.
