Somaliland Piracy

 

The second reportage produced by CVF about piracy in Somalia
In the independent “Somaliland", interviews with the Minister of the Interior and Minister of Justice, a pirate detained in Mandera prison, and with a German couple kidnapped by Somali pirates.
Piracy off the Somali coast has been a threat to international shipping since the beginning of Somalia's civil war in the early 1990s. Since 2005, many international organizations, including the International Maritime Organization and the World Food Programme, have expressed concern over the rise in acts of piracy. Piracy has contributed to an increase in shipping costs and impeded the delivery of food aid shipments.

Piracy off the Somali coast has been a threat to international shipping since the beginning of Somalia's civil war in the early 1990s. Since 2005, many international organizations, including the International Maritime Organization and the WFP have expressed concern over the rise in acts of piracy. Piracy has contributed to an increase in shipping costs and impeded the delivery of food aid shipments. Ninety percent of the WFP's shipments arrive by sea, and ships have required a military escort.
