Somalia: Somali Piracy Is Back - Fuelled By Political Turmoil, Aid Cuts and the Iran War
[The Conversation Africa] On the evening of April 26, the Egyptian merchant vessel Sward was hijacked by armed men a few miles off the Somali coast. It was steered towards an anchorage near the port of Garacad in Puntland, a semi-autonomous state in north-eastern Somalia.
The Egyptian merchant vessel Sward was recently hijacked by armed individuals a short distance from the Somali coastline. The ship was subsequently directed towards an anchorage point near the port of Garacad, located within Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region. This incident marks a resurgence of piracy in the area, a phenomenon previously thought to be largely suppressed.
The return of Somali piracy raises concerns about maritime security and the stability of trade routes in the region.
