Why is piracy on Somalia waters increasing?

麻豆官网首页入口 Journalist Sahnun Mohammed gains rare access to pirates operating off the coast of Somalia as piracy cases increase.

Piracy off the coast in Somalia, had cost the global economy around 7 billion US dollars just over a decade ago. Since then, international security patrols in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean shipping lane all but eliminated piracy. But in recent months, there鈥檚 been a resurgence off the coast of the autonomous region of Puntland. Why is that?

Also, what's behind the fire at the parliamentary buildings in Liberia?

And why Nigerians are not all that happy about "Detty December"?
