As of today, there has not been a successful attack by Somali pirates in a year.
Some claim it’s mainly the result of better anti-piracy measures. Some claim it’s more so improvements on the ground in Somalia.
The truth is somewhere in the middle, and the story is by no means over as we’re one destabilized government/pull out of the theater by foreign warships away from a new wave of attacks. For now, it’s a chance to rest.
For now…
