Somali Piracy: the Other Side of the Coin

01/10/2009

Author: African Prospects journal

This author of this article (Abshir Waldo) argues that the underlying causes of the rise of piracy off the Somali coast have not been fully appreciated, and that the reporting has been weighted in favour of the international community. He claims that large-scale illegal foreign fishing is being ignored.

The article is in two parts, uploaded as two pdf files.
