Somalia piracy: Development 'would curb illegal industry'
http://goo.gl/vZPt1R
Pirates have earned millions of dollars through hijackings
Piracy off Somalia's coast would fall sharply if the country's economy was
more developed, a study says.
Local elites and communities in remote areas protect pirates because they
lack an income, it adds.
Foreign navies have a strong presence around Somalia in order to keep
shipping lanes safe.
This has led to a decline in attacks off the Somali coast, with the UN
estimating that about 40 people are still being held by pirates.
At the peak of their activity three years ago, the pirates held more than 700
crew members and more than 30 ships.
'Import centre'
The World Bank estimates that pirates netted more than $400m (￡230m) in
ransom money between 2005 and 2012.

Ships are safer since foreign navies increased patrols off Somalia's coast
Somalia has been a largely lawless state since the fall of long-serving ruler
Siad Barre in 1991.
Warlords, religious groups and clans have been fighting for control of
Somalia.
The study, by the University of Oxford and King's College London, says
Somalia witnessed a surge in pirate attacks when territory was contested or
elections took place.
This suggested the behaviour of clan leaders in Somalia was similar to that
of politicians in Italy and Taiwan, who extended protection to criminals when
they needed extra funds to further political ambitions, the study adds.
"Local communities support pirates when there isn't a better alternative
income stream," said Federico Varese, a co-author of the report based at the
University Oxford.
"By improving the infrastructure of Somalia, building new harbours and roads
to link the remote areas to trade routes, our research concludes that poorer
communities would be less likely to resort to piracy," he added.
People in Somalia's north-eastern city of Bosasso cut ties with pirates once
the economy grew, the study says.
"As the city regained its importance as a major trading port for livestock
and an import centre for the wider region, pirates were no longer tolerated -
pirate hostages were freed and pirates were imprisoned by the local clan
leaders," the study adds.
