The State of Somali Piracy

The institute for Security Studies published on 7 November 2018 an analysis titled "Ten Years On, Is Somali Piracy Still a Threat?" by Denys Reva.

There have only been two pirate attacks off Somalia since the beginning of 2018 as compared to 160 for all of 2011. The author argues, however, that it is still essential to address the root cause of piracy in Somalia.
