PIRACY AT SEA BY
SOMALIA
3
HISTORY OF SOMALI PIRACY STARTED
“It was started after civil war in Somalia in 1991 Somalia's navy fell apart and disbanded. This left Somalia's coast line unprotected, and as a result fishing vessels from other countries started to poach in the region. In addition, other ships came and started using the unguarded Somali waters as a dumping area for toxic waste, including radioactive nuclear waste”. The dumping of toxic waste was started in the late 1980’s.

HOW SOMALI PIRACY STARTED ?
World best quality Fish was found in this reagion it was effected badly when TOXIC WASTES were dump on the coast of somalia.Fish start dying and Somalia coast got too much polluted which causes serious diseases also.
ILLEGAL FISHING by other countrie‘s fishermen also started which also effect the local citizens of somalia.
In response, the local fishermen began forming armed groups to stop the foreign ships. They eventually turned to hijacking commercial vessels for ransom as an alternate source of income.
