anytime you have coastal or fishing based communities living in abject poverty, piracy seems inevitable. their fishing resources are being depleted. Rayaale's weak transitional government fuels continued civil strife. it probably sucks to be Somalian. it has sucked to be Somali for some time.

there are other resources in Somalia: largely unexploited reserves of iron ore and probably oil, as well as other minerals. but those won't help much if they can't resolve transnational and civil issues. plus, the weather is shitty. oh, and everybody is hungry as hell.

I'm watching the news, and they're saying three of the pirates popped their heads out of the boat and Navy SEALS took all three of them out with three quick shots. lol
