The Somali attitude is beautiful!

This is because these pirates were not fishermen, but what Somali militias from in-land who are only after money. The fisherman with legitimate reasons to become pirates have gone back to their fishing as the trawlers have disappeared as their objective has been met. Now gangs and an militias are the "pirates". People need to distinguish between the two.

[Puntite]

These are the origins of Somali piracy. There cause was legitimate ( fighting against trawlers and vessels dumping toxic waste). That is when piracy was primarily based in the Puntland region of Somalia ( were 80% of the fishers in Somalia lives). Since 2009, piracy in Puntland has decreased and piracy moved down the coast to a region known as Galmudug. When this happened, the pirates began to become more violent, taking people hostage and killing others.
