Why is piracy on Somalia waters increasing?

30 min20 december 2024

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’s 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"?
