Why Somalia has become a safe heaven for pirate?
TallGuyShort: Honestly, I think it has a lot to do with financial issues. This articles was posted earlier today that you may find interesting:http://www.wired.com/politics/security/magazine/17-07/ff_som...I don't think it's entirely true that private security contractors are actually trying to prolong the problem in an attempt to make more money, but I do think it's mainly due to someone's financial/political agenda. Nobody wants to deal with the REAL problems in Mogadishu, and obviously there are few people who find it cost-effective to make such a decisive move against piracy. There's several good documentaries going around on TV that show how difficult it is to deal with the problem without majorly interrupting legitimate trade.>> However I am surprised how the Somalian pirates have made news.There's a lot more ships going through that area than the news lets on. The news agencies have there agenda too - if they can make the situation sound more dramatic, it's in their best interests to do so.
