Somali pirates have been successful in hijacking big and small merchant ships across the gulf of Aden in the last two years, primarily because they do not care for their lives. These pirates originate from a country where you are not assured of your life, and where there is no basic facility for human beings.

That being the case, these pirates have been forced to choose the profession, and do it in a daring style, which is shocking the entire civilized world. They have been able to hijack one ship every three or four weeks, and the latest haul in their list is a Saudi oil tanker said to contain crude oil which can feed one day requirement of entire UK.

The world can get rid of these pirates only if their economic condition in their country is improved to decent levels, which the world is now seriously pondering about.
