From The Pirates of Puntland :
A short article by Robert Pelton, concerning the apparent decline in the Somalia Pirate business model.
Normally I don’t post about the piracy issues concerning the commercial shipping interests, but there are indicators (read the news reports) that the pirates are turning to other sources of income (kidnappings on land, etc.).
Always prepare yourself by being situationally aware – looking for the threat before it becomes a crisis, and taking appropriate measures to avoid violence, if possible.
