Somalian Pirates


Ok so what basically is happening right now in Somalia is, a lot of really poor desperate village folk that have been poor for centuries are now a relied on Pirate headquarters, for income. The Somalian villages of Haradhere, Eyl, and Bossaso once poor village folk, now thrive on the pirates to dock up and spend their newly aquired hostage money and other acquired valuables on goods in these harbor towns. Now the question is why don't the authorities stop these hijackers and ransom holders from doing this, well the thing is they can't because most of the pirates that get away with it are very good financially and are in tight with a lot of law officials. Some believe that the law officials are getting some of the cut in certain hostage situations. Funny how some things work out, the rich are sometimes just too rich, and it just works out in some of these poor villages advantage and benefits everyone. The rich get there lives, if they cooperate that is.
