Pirații somalezi s-au întors în largul Africii. 17 atacuri în 2026 și o nouă amenințare pentru navele comerciale

Piracy has resurfaced off the coast of Somalia, with at least 17 attacks reported in 2026, linked to regional conflicts and economic instability. The resurgence is attributed to military resource shifts due to the Middle East war, leading to increased shipping routes near Somali waters. Pirates are now better equipped and targeting valuable oil tankers, as seen in the Honour 25 incident. Somalia's weak maritime institutions and ongoing economic challenges further exacerbate the situation, making local fishing communities vulnerable to foreign exploitation. The combination of these factors has contributed to the alarming return of piracy after years of decline.
